Internet Status โ March 7, 2026: AWS Middle East Recovery Continues; Minor Cloudflare Regional Issues
The global internet is largely stable today with no widespread outages.
The most significant ongoing incident is the AWS me-central-1 (Middle East) outage that began on March 1 after drone strikes physically damaged data center infrastructure in the UAE. Two availability zones remain impaired, with DynamoDB, S3, and EC2 networking APIs experiencing elevated error rates and latency. AWS continues recovery efforts and is advising affected customers to migrate workloads to alternate regions. This remains a regional incident with no impact on other AWS regions.
Cloudflare is reporting minor partial outages across several regional data centers, including locations in Africa (Dar es Salaam, Djibouti, Kinshasa, others), Asia (Male, Naha, Kochi), Europe (Geneva, Skopje), and North America (Charlotte, Norfolk, Ottawa). These appear related to maintenance windows and are causing slight latency increases rather than full service disruptions.
All other major infrastructure providers are reporting normal operations:
Recently resolved incidents from the past 72 hours include a Cloudflare GraphQL API outage on March 4 (DNS metrics queries affected for ~5 hours) and a Claude.ai disruption on March 2.
Overall classification: incidents-detected. Notable regional issues persist in the Middle East, but internet infrastructure globally is functioning normally.
