ABU DHABI, March 2 — Amazon cloud-computing unit’s facilities in the Middle East were facing power and connectivity issues today, the company saidafter its United Arab Emirates data center was struck by “objects,” triggering a fire.
Amazon Web Services’ UAE and Bahrain regions were affected by outages, it said, citing localized power issues for both regions.
Two of Amazon cloud unit’s zones, which are clusters of data centers, in the UAE were without power on Monday, the company said on its status page.
AWS said yesterday that one zone in the UAE was affected after “objects” struck the data center and created sparks and fire, following which power was shut off.
“We can confirm that a localized power issue has affected another availability zone” in the UAE region, AWS said.
AWS did not confirm or deny, when asked earlier, whether the UAE incident was connected to the Iranian strikes on neighbouring Gulf states, including the UAE and Bahrain, in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic.
The cloud firm had reported some recovery in the UAE region earlier today, but is now asking customers to rely on its services in other regions, adding that it was working to restore power and connectivity.
The cloud division expected full recovery to “be many hours away” for both UAE and Bahrain.
Separately, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank said on Monday technical issues were affecting some of its platforms and mobile app users. It was unclear if the outage at the lender was related to AWS. — Reuters
