Ahn noticed the fastly outage didnt ya.
But to the point they host their main infrastructure separately from the status page.
For example you host the status page in a Azure (Microsoft) datacenter in the region eu-west1, while the main infrastructure is hosted at AWS in us-east1…

Simplified example but you get the gist.
It could still be with the same provider but different regions too.
