AWS recently launched a Health API which is used to get this sort of information without resorting to RSS parsing. This can be paired up with CloudWatch to get notifications pushed to you without resorting to polling.

An RSS feed is available of these dashboard, eg for CloudFront and Ec2 tokyo. All these are available on http://status.aws.amazon.com/ right hand side of each service url there is RSS icon. This can be used programatically to do whatever you to do?.
