DUBAI: Amazon cloud-computing unit’s facilities in the Middle East were facing power and connectivity issues on Monday, the company said, after its UAE 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 on Sunday 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.
