Amazon's cloud services department has stated that during retaliatory strikes in Iran, its data centers in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are facing issues with power and network connectivity. Amazon stated on its status page that two cloud regions in the UAE experienced power outages. AWS stated that one region in the UAE was affected due to an "object" striking the data center, causing sparks and a fire, leading to power being cut off. The cloud service company advised customers to rely on its services in other regions and added that recovery is expected to take "a few hours."
