Impact Summary Starting at 07 May 2026 23:59 UTC, customers using Databricks services in AWS us-east-1 may experience degraded service or failures. Symptoms Customers may observe: - General unavailability of Databricks services, including - Unity Catalog operations failing or not completing - Workloads in Classic Compute (all-purpose clusters), Lakeflow Jobs, Databricks SQL, and Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines experiencing failures Recommendations Customers are advised to avoid retrying operations at high frequency while remediation is underway. The Flexible Node Types and Auto-AZ features are designed to help customers during periods of reduced capacity and zonal impacts. - https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/compute/flexible-node-types - https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/compute/pools#auto-az-with-pools Current Status Our engineering team has moved most services out of the impacted AZ. While many services are returning to service, customers may still see increased latency or intermittent job failures while the region continues to stabilize. We are continuing to work with the cloud provider and monitoring for full recovery. Refer to health.aws.amazon.com/health/status for more information.
