AWS said on Monday that it would be \u201cat least a day\u201d before it could restore power and connectivity, but it has since stopped giving updates on timeline. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Where things stood as of late last night: The recovery is grinding forward<\/strong>, but its services in the region are far from operational. AWS said overnight that its core S3 storage service was showing improvement for new data, but still can\u2019t reliably pull information that clients stored before the strikes \u2014 so anything you had on their services before Sunday is still inaccessible. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Most of its other regional services are impaired: <\/strong>A key database service is also down, and the combination of that and the S3 outage is cascading across other AWS services that companies big and small have traditionally relied on to run websites, apps, and other core business services. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHY IT MATTERS- A who\u2019s who of business relies on AWS. <\/strong>Case in point: ADCB\u2019s website says this morning that its app and contact center are still down.

Amazon spent the first 24 hours of the outage saying only that \u201cobjects\u201d had caused \u201csparks and fire.\u201d The strikes caused structural damage, knocked out power, and triggered fire suppression systems that caused water damage. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AWS is telling customers in the Middle East to get out of Dodge<\/strong>, saying it \u201cstrongly recommends\u201d that clients move to US, European, and Asia Pacific regions. The company is also signaling that <strong>it doesn\u2019t want to talk much about the issue<\/strong>, saying that from now on it\u2019s going to be communicating \u201cdirectly with affected customers\u201d instead of posting public updates. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- As <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/03\/03\/dubais-data-center-outage-exposes-vulnerable-region-ecosystem\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">we wrote<\/a><\/strong><strong> earlier this week, the episode is a stress test for the Gulf\u2019s AI <\/strong><strong>pitch as it collides with wartime reality. <\/strong>Analysts told us this week that in the compute era, data centers rank alongside pipelines as strategic infrastructure.
