We are providing an update on the ongoing service disruptions affecting the AWS Middle East (UAE) Region (ME-CENTRAL-1). We continue to make progress on recovery efforts across multiple workstreams. For Amazon S3, we are seeing continued improvement in PUT and LIST availability. Newly written objects are now able to be successfully retrieved, and we continue to work on reducing GET error rates for objects written prior to the event. Full recovery of GET operations for pre-existing data remains dependent on restoring the affected infrastructure. For Amazon DynamoDB, error rates remain elevated and our teams continue to focus on recovery; we expect to see improvement over the coming hours. As these foundational services recover, dependent services — including AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon CloudWatch, and Amazon RDS — will follow. Amazon EC2 instance launches remain throttled in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region and will be relaxed as foundational service recovery and capacity allow. The AWS Management Console is operational, though customers may continue to experience errors on certain pages as underlying services work through their recovery. With the immediate phase of this event now better understood, we are moving to a more targeted communication model. Going forward, updates will be delivered directly to affected customers through the AWS Personal Health Dashboard. Customers who require assistance with this event are encouraged to contact AWS Support through the AWS Management Console or the AWS Support Center. We continue to strongly recommend that customers with workloads running in the Middle East take action now to migrate those workloads to alternate AWS Regions. Customers should enact their disaster recovery plans, recover from remote backups stored in other Regions, and update their applications to direct traffic away from the affected Regions. For customers requiring guidance on alternate regions, we recommend considering AWS Regions in the United States, Europe, or Asia Pacific, as appropriate for your latency and data residency requirements.

Backup frequency on this pod is still set to 2x backups per day to maintain high backup success rates while the R&D team continues to develop and test improvements to address the issue. The backup frequency will be increased to 3x backups per day when it is safe and reliable for all customers hosted on the pod. Backup success rates remain stable and the R&D team is continuing to monitor.
