Several Amazon Web Services are down in the Middle East after three data centres were damaged in drone strikes.

The company has announced potential disruptions to its services across the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has indicated that “the ongoing Middle East conflict has resulted in physical damage to infrastructure due to drone strikes” in these regions.

Efforts are underway to restore services, particularly those that don’t rely on physical data center repairs.

Amazon recommends that customers with operations in the Middle East back up their data and consider transferring their workloads to other regions, such as Australia, the Asia Pacific, the United States, or Europe.

“While we strive to restore these facilities, the conflict in the area makes the overall operating environment in the Middle East unpredictable,” the company stated.

Amazon holds approximately 30% of the global cloud market share and supports over four million businesses globally.
