Internet Status โ€” March 6, 2026: AWS Middle East Recovery Continues; Scattered Service Disruptions

The most significant ongoing event remains the AWS Middle East outage, now entering its fifth day. Drone strikes on March 1-2 physically damaged AWS data centers in the UAE (me-central-1) and Bahrain, knocking out EC2, S3, RDS, and dozens of other services across multiple Availability Zones. AWS has stated that recovery will be prolonged due to the nature of the physical damage and is recommending customers migrate workloads to alternate regions. Financial services, delivery platforms, and enterprise software providers in the region continue to experience disruptions.


Elsewhere today, Cloudflare is performing scheduled maintenance at its Chicago (ORD) and Toronto (YYZ) data centers, with possible slight latency increases for traffic routed through those locations. Cloudflare RealtimeKit is also experiencing degraded performance on Android. Amazon.com (retail) saw a separate outage earlier today with over 20,000 user reports, affecting checkout, product listings, and order tracking for roughly five hours.


GitHub experienced a 3-hour outage on March 5 affecting pull requests, but appears operational today. An Oracle Cloud outage earlier this week briefly knocked TikTok offline for some US users. Google Cloud, Azure, and OpenAI all report normal operations.


No new BGP routing incidents or undersea cable issues have been reported today. The internet is up and broadly functional, though the AWS Middle East situation remains a significant regional infrastructure event.
