Using only colored emojis to convey availability status may create accessibility issues for users with color blindness or screen readers. Consider adding text labels or using symbols that don't rely solely on color differentiation.

I had thought of the accessibility issue. The solution proposed by copilot highlights the issue, but doesn't solve it very well. For that, I'd suggest switching to an HTML table and attaching proper ARIA tags to the documentation, but that's out of scope. I'm just intending to make this more obvious to a visual user. I completely missed that Object Store was not available in PHX1 because the exes are not visually very different from the checks in the font used by the Civo docs site.
