Wasabi Outage History

Between 2026-05-20 17:57 UTC and 2026-05-21 01:44 UTC, a subset of customers operating in the AP-NORTHEAST-1 region experienced intermittent HTTP 5xx errors impacting object storage operations. The issue was triggered by failures on a portion of the underlying storage hosts, resulting in temporary service instability within the region. The host failures occurred under elevated internal system activity associated with platform health-management operations and concurrent storage reclamation workflows. Service impact was intermittent throughout the event window. Wasabi has implemented additional operational safeguards and recovery workflows to accelerate remediation of impacted internal nodes. These enhancements improve recovery efficiency across high-availability infrastructure and further reduce the risk and duration of future service-impacting events.

On 6 February 2026 from 06:30 UTC to approximately 10:02 UTC, Wasabi S3 services in our Hillsboro \(us-west-1\) region were unavailable due to a partial power issue within our datacenter facility. Wasabi’s Operations Team was alerted by our automated monitoring systems that multiple racks were experiencing power disruptions, which impacted customer access and operations during this time. The disruption originated within infrastructure hosted at Flexential’s Portland–Hillsboro 2 \(PDX02\) data center, where the failure of an upstream electrical distribution circuit breaker resulted in a loss of power to cabinets supporting affected systems. Flexential performed controlled restoration procedures and subsequently replaced the failed breaker under emergency change control. Following power restoration and comprehensive system validation checks by Wasabi’s Operations Team, services were progressively restored and us-west-1 region were fully operational.

On 25 July 2025 from 19:06 UTC to approximately 21:14 UTC, Wasabi's eu-west-3 \(London\) region experienced a service incident which resulted in elevated HTTP 5XX errors being returned for many request types to the region. The cause for the incident was an internal service failure, which prevented multiple services within the region from being able to successfully communicate across platforms. Due to this failure, our internal proxy service was unable to efficiently direct requests within the region, resulting in a degradation of the service and causing client requests to fail. Wasabi's Engineering and Operations teams worked to systematically restart impacted service hosts beginning at 19:20 UTC through 19:28 UTC. Once the hosts were back online, internal routing issues due to faulty configuration files required the team to manually correct the configurations and apply those to service hosts. By 21:24 UTC, all hosts and services were operating properly, and the region was operational.

On 16 July 2025 from 07:35 UTC to approximately 9:14 UTC, Wasabi's eu-central-1 \(Amsterdam\) region began to see degraded performance for some customers as multiple internal storage services went offline, resulting in elevated HTTP 5XX error responses for GET requests to their bucket\(s\). The cause for this degradation was an internal service restart, which failed to initialize all dependent services during the restart process. Due to this internal service failure, the internal connection to some storage subsystems was lost. Wasabi's Operations team was able to restart the failed initialization on all impacted servers to restore the S3 service to a fully operational state. By 9:14 UTC, all services in the eu-central-1 region were running properly.

On 08 July 2025 from 12:10 UTC to approximately 16:36 UTC, Wasabi S3 services in our Frankfurt \(eu-central-2\) region were unavailable due to a partial power issue in our datacenter. Wasabi’s Operations Team was alerted by our automated alert system that multiple racks were experiencing power issues, however not all racks within the datacenter were impacted due to the power issue not impacting all circuits within the building. While our Operations Team was working to bring up all server hardware and running system checks and diagnostics, a second power issue at 16:18 UTC caused all impacted racks to go offline a second time. By 16:36 UTC, our Operations Team was able to successfully bring up all impacted racks to a fully operational state.

On 26 June 2025 from 18:30 UTC to 19:12 UTC, we experienced system errors in our us-east-1 and us-east-2 regions due to an unplanned data center thermal event. Starting at 18:30 UTC, our Operations team was notified of a spike in thermal temperature within several servers within the data centers. Due to the increase in temperature, multiple storage pools shut down power to the enclosed drives to preserve drive health and data integrity. Due to the powering down of these drives, several read & write operations resulted in HTTP 5XX errors. Upon notification of this thermal event, Wasabi’s Operations Team worked with the data center team to diagnose and correct the cooling issue and power cycled each impacted server. Once each server was fully powered up, all services was restored. By 19:12 UTC, all services were fully operational.

On 18 June 2025 at 23:10 UTC, Wasabi’s Sydney vault was impacted by Network issue at one of our network provider for 20 minutes, causing client requests to result in timeout when trying to reach to Wasabi endpoint in Sydney \([s3.ap-southeast-2.wasabisys.com](http://s3.ap-southeast-2.wasabisys.com)\). This issue was caused by one of the Networking providers in the region, which incorrectly blocked all traffic destined for Wasabi. The situation was restored to normal operation by migrating traffic to one of our other network providers until the routing issue was resolved.
