Has anyone heard any news about the ongoing outage affecting AWS services in Dubai and Bahrain? The Health Dashboard hasn't provided updates since March 3rd, and I'm wondering whether the issue has been resolved or if recovery efforts are still in progress. For those with resources in that region, have you received any communication from the AWS team? I'm also curious if anyone has experienced data loss as a result of this situation. Is AWS keeping things under wraps?

From what I understand, the situation is quite serious. The outages are linked to ongoing conflicts in the region, which complicates repairs. AWS seems to be focusing on getting Dubai back up before addressing Bahrain more thoroughly.
I read somewhere that they're shifting communication strategies and will only update affected customers directly through the AWS Health Dashboard now. This might explain the lag in public updates. It’s definitely a tough situation for anyone relying on their services in that area.
It's interesting to consider how crucial it is for businesses to have multi-region setups, especially after this. If anything, I think many have realized they need better contingency plans. Let's hope for clearer updates soon.
It looks like things aren't going to be back online anytime soon. I've heard reports that one Availability Zone in Dubai is completely down, and the recovery timeline is vague, just mentioning 'multiple days'—which is unusual for AWS. They usually provide much clearer ETAs. As for Bahrain, only one AZ was impacted, so they're likely prioritizing Dubai's recovery first.
