We continue to work towards restoring power in the affected Availability Zone (mes1-az2) in the ME-SOUTH-1 Region. We currently expect our recovery efforts to take at least a day. Our current guidance regarding immediate recovery remains unchanged from our previous update. Customers are able to disassociate Elastic IP addresses from resources in the affected Availability Zone and associate those with resources in the unaffected Availability Zones. This can be done by specifying --allow-reassociation when attempting to associate the Elastic IP to the new resource. We will provide you with further updates by 2:00 PM PST or sooner if new information becomes available.
