Amazon\u2019s cloud customers will need to wait several more months before the US tech company can repair war-damaged data centers and restore normal operations in the Middle East. The announcement comes two months after Iranian drone strikes targeted three Amazon data centers in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain\u2014meaning that full recovery from the cloud disruption could take nearly half a year in all.<\/p>\n

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) dashboard<\/a> posted an April 30 update describing how its UAE and Bahrain cloud regions \u201csuffered damage as a result of the conflict in the Middle East\u201d and are unable to support customer applications. The update also said that \u201crelevant billing operations are currently suspended while we restore normal operations\u201d in a process that \u201cis expected to take several months.\u201d<\/p>\n

That wording suggests Amazon will continue to avoid billing AWS customers in the affected regions\u2014ME-CENTRAL-1 and ME-SOUTH-1\u2014after it initially waived<\/a> all usage-related charges for March 2026 at an estimated cost<\/a> of $150 million.<\/p>\n
