Amazon Web Services (AWS) has seen services disrupted by the war in the Middle East for a second time, with drone activity impacting its Bahrain data center.

Amazon’s cloud platform said customers should move workloads away from its Bahrain region to other parts of its network following the incident, which has not yet appeared on the AWS status page.

"As this ​situation evolves and, as we have advised before, we request those with workloads in the ​affected regions continue to migrate to other locations,” an Amazon statement said.

When asked by Reuters, which first reported the news, whether the data center had been directly impacted by a drone attack, Amazon did not comment.

It is the second known outage to hit AWS since the war between Israel, the US, and Iran broke out last month. Earlier this month, two of its data centers in the United Arab Emirates were hit by drone strikes, while the Bahrain facility was impacted by attacks nearby.

This led to an outage in the AWS ME-CENTRAL-1 cloud region, which has yet to be fully resolved. Amazon said at the time: "These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage.”

Services have still not been fully restored since these initial attacks.

Iran’s military has threatened to target digital and energy infrastructure in the region if Israel and the US continue their bombing campaign.

AWS opened its Bahrain region in 2019.
