Most of those aren’t outages, and both providers have big blips.
Globally meaningful outages of either are quite rare.

Its actually way more than monthly... It seems nobody does outages like Cloudflare...

https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status has regular disruptions like this, too (click the button labeled "list of events"; several a month even just in North America).
All the major cloud providers have regular incidents. Most go unnoticed, because they’re small or short.
The really big AWS ones go on https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/pes/
I at least respect them for reporting them. It feels like lots of cloud providers don’t, or begrudgingly.
This is at least the third time in the past year that Cloudflare has caused a significant outage of my product.
And you are still using them because ... ?
We handle ~2M requests per second and CF eliminates about ⅔ of those. We need CF or something like it. Multi edge is harder than it sounds at very large scale.
