AWS Databricks experienced a 7.2-hour service disruption in the us-east-1 region starting May 7, 2026 at 23:59 UTC, caused by an underlying AWS cloud provider incident affecting an availability zone. The outage impacted Unity Catalog operations, Classic Compute clusters, Lakeflow Jobs, Databricks SQL, and Spark Declarative Pipelines, with customers experiencing general service unavailability and job failures. Databricks engineering teams resolved the issue by moving services out of the impacted availability zone, with services gradually returning to normal operation though some customers continued to experience increased latency and intermittent failures during regional stabilization.
