Ask HN: Is AWS me-south-1 down or gone?

5 pointsby kaikeru4 mesi fa3 comments

We are having alerts on our systems where we can't reach me-south-1 S3. In the AWS console, we are unable to load the region. Firefox can't load the console.

Looks like there’s a problem with this site

> Firefox can’t connect to the server at me-south-1.console.aws.amazon.com

There have been issues due to the War in Iran with that region but it hasn't completely gone down...yet. AWS took down UAE completely last month. I'm wondering if we are about to see some big news regarding Bahrain.

After some searching I was able to find a news article.

The article title says 1st: "Iran strikes Bahrain’s top telco hosting Amazon Web Services, marking 1st direct hit on US tech giants"

While it's not the 1st one.

There was another iranian strike on the 1st of March on the AWS ME-CENTRAL-1 (United Arab Emirates).
