We continue to work towards recovery of the two impaired Availability Zones (mec1-az2 and mec1-az3) in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region with a focus on restoring functionality to foundational services. Since our last update we have made incremental progress in recovering the DynamoDB control plane which will not be visible to external customers but are required for the restoration of service. Similarly we have made progress with the S3 control plane. The recovery of these foundational services, when complete, will enable a broad range of dependent AWS services to recover. We still estimate that the recovery time is at least a day before we are able to fully restore power and connectivity. We will provide you with another update by March 3 2:00 AM PST, or sooner if new information becomes available.
