"These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage. We are working closely with local authorities and prioritizing the safety of our personnel throughout our recovery efforts."
"The ongoing conflict in the region means that the broader operating environment in the Middle East remains unpredictable. We expect recovery to be prolonged given the nature of the physical damage involved."
"We recommend that customers with workloads running in the Middle East consider taking action now to backup data and potentially migrate your workloads to alternate AWS Regions."
Three Amazon data centers in the Middle East sustained damage from drone strikes during US-Iran conflict escalation. Two facilities in the United Arab Emirates received direct hits, while a third in Bahrain was damaged by a nearby strike. The attacks caused structural damage, power disruptions, and water damage from fire suppression activities. Multiple AWS services including EC2, S3 storage, and DynamoDB were affected. Amazon stated the regional operating environment remains unpredictable and recovery will be prolonged. The company recommended customers backup data and consider migrating workloads to alternate AWS regions. Amazon's e-commerce operations in Abu Dhabi also halted due to escalating tensions.
