Impaired Cluster Operations – AWS me-central-1 (United Arab Emirates) and AWS me-south-1 (Bahrain)
AWS me-central-1 (UAE) and me-south-1 (Bahrain) have suffered damage in these regions. Workloads in me-central-1 (UAE) continue to experience significant impairments. In addition, workloads in me-south-1 (Bahrain) are currently not operational, cannot be modified, and are not able to migrate to other regions or support other disaster recovery actions such as backup and restore. According to the AWS Service Health Dashboard update from April 30th, recovery is expected to take several months. The latest information from AWS is available at: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status. We strongly recommend that customers with workloads in AWS me-central-1 act now to move their clusters to alternate regions instead of waiting for full availability to be restored. There are currently no recovery options available for data that is only present in the AWS me-south-1 region. We continue to assist customers in their chosen remediation path to the extent possible.
