We continue to work towards restoring power in the affected Availability Zone (mes1-az2) in the ME-SOUTH-1 Region. We have no updated guidance on expected recovery times, and still expect this to take at least a day to fully restore power and connectivity. We continue to advise customers to launch replacement resources in one of the unaffected Availability Zones or an alternate AWS Region. At this time we recommend that customers that are capable of backing up data outside of the region consider doing so. You can view the current status of affected AWS services below. We will provide you with another update by 7:00 PM PST, or sooner if we have additional information to share.
