Overview
- Amazon Web Services, which confirmed Monday that its Bahrain region was disrupted by drone activity, said this is the second outage there this month.
- The company is shifting affected customers to other AWS regions during recovery and has not provided a damage assessment or a timeline for full restoration.
- AWS said it is working with local authorities and is prioritizing the safety of its personnel during the response.
- The AWS Health Dashboard shows multiple services in Bahrain experiencing operational issues, so users may see interruptions or limited access.
- Earlier March strikes on UAE data centers and near a Bahrain site caused structural damage, power loss and water from fire systems, and experts now warn that reliance on a single cloud region can ripple through banks, payments apps and other services.
