UPDATE
about 3 hours ago - at 03/02/2026 10:41AM
We continue to work toward restoring power in the affected Availability Zone (mes1-az2) in the ME-SOUTH-1 Region. At this time, some AWS services have shifted traffic away from the affected Availability Zone and are seeing recovery for their affected operations and workflows. EC2 Instances, EBS Volumes, and other resources impacted in the affected Availability Zone will require a longer recovery timeline. Power has not yet been restored to the affected Availability Zone. If immediate recovery is required, we recommend customers restore from EBS Snapshots and/or launch replacement resources in one of the unaffected Availability Zones or an alternate Region. In parallel, we are actively working on reducing the error rates and latencies that some customers are experiencing with EC2 APIs. For now, we recommend continuing to retry any failed API requests. We will provide an update by 6:00 AM PST on March 2, or sooner if we have additional information to share.

We continue to work on a localized power issue affecting a single Availability Zone (mes1-az2) in the ME-SOUTH-1 Region. In the impacted Availability Zone, EC2 Instances, DB Instances, EBS Volumes, and other AWS Services are also experiencing elevated error rates and latencies for some workflows. As part of our recovery effort, we have shifted traffic away from the impacted Availability Zone for most services. We recommend customers utilize one of the other Availability Zones in the ME-SOUTH-1 Region, as existing instances in other AZs remain unaffected by this issue. We are actively working to restore power and connectivity, at which time we will begin recovering affected resources. Currently, we expect recovery to take many hours. We will provide an update by 2:30 AM PST, or sooner if we have additional information to share.

We are investigating connectivity and power issues affecting APIs and instances in a single Availability Zone (mes1-az2) in the ME-SOUTH-1 Region due to a localized power issue. Existing instances in this zone will also be affected. Other AWS Services may also be experiencing increased errors and latencies for their workflows, and we are working to route requests away from this affected Availability Zone. We recommend customers make use of other Availability Zones at this time. During this time, we are also experiencing delays in propagating DNS changes for Route53 to pops (Points of Presence) in ME-SOUTH-1. Targeting new launches using RunInstances in the remaining AZs should succeed. Existing instances in the other AZs are not affected.
