Update timeline

We continue to work toward restoring power in the affected Availability Zone (mes1-az2) in the ME-SOUTH-1 Region. The overall state of the region remains largely unchanged from our previous update. At this time, we have no updated guidance on expected timelines for fully restoring power and connectivity. We are taking all necessary steps to support the recovery process. While progress is being made, significant work remains before full restoration is complete. Given the ongoing uncertainty, we encourage customers to replicate their Amazon S3 data and other critical data from the ME-SOUTH-1 Region to another AWS Region, using the guidance provided in our previous update. We will continue to provide updates as recovery progresses and as the situation evolves. Our next update will be provided by 6:00 AM PST on March 3, or sooner if new information becomes available.
