Wasabi Outage History

Between 24 March 2026 at 19:30 UTC and 25 March 2026 at 10:15 UTC, Wasabi S3 read operations in the Tokyo region \(ap-northeast-1\) were impacted for a small subset of customers and buckets. The impact was caused by a software deployment that unintentionally impacted one of our storage pools, resulting in the inability to access data stored on that pool. No other storage pools in the Tokyo region were affected. Once this was detected the pool was enabled again and data access restored. Procedural changes were added and active monitoring was already added to avoid this specific type of incident in the future.

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.
