Tech vendors urge failover from hit Middle East AWS regions
"We recommend customers enact their disaster recovery plans and recover from remote backups into alternate AWS Regions, ideally in Europe. Red Hat told customers that its products were degraded in the region, and AWS recommended they could retry operations where possible, although most of the underlying services are still offline."
"We continue to strongly recommend that customers with workloads running in the Middle East take action now to migrate those workloads to alternate AWS Regions. Customers should enact their disaster recovery plans, recover from remote backups stored in other Regions, and update their applications to direct traffic away from the affected Regions."
"Snowflake said customers in the affected regions may be unable to access multiple core services, leaving users unable to sign in, execute queries, or manage data, and said it has no estimated time of restoration yet. An updated ETA is not yet available. We'll provide one as soon as possible."
Aerial strikes damaged AWS datacenters in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, causing significant service disruptions. Red Hat, Snowflake, and EMQX advised customers to activate disaster recovery procedures and migrate workloads to alternate AWS regions, preferably in Europe, the US, or Asia Pacific. AWS services remained largely offline with only partial recovery underway. Snowflake customers faced inability to access core services including sign-in, query execution, and data management functions with no estimated restoration time provided. EMQX, an IoT platform managing vehicle sensor data, also experienced service interruptions. Companies recommended customers recover from remote backups and redirect traffic away from affected regions.
