Amazon Web Services (AWS) officially confirmed the permanent loss of customer data following drone strikes in the Middle East. The attacks targeted data centers located in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, causing irreversible damage to information stored exclusively within those regions.
The incident has resulted in significant disruptions to cloud services provided by the company. In response to the destruction, AWS has issued an advisory to its clients, urging them to perform data backups and migrate their workloads to other regions as a necessary precautionary measure.
The strikes occurred amidst the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, highlighting the vulnerability of civilian infrastructure. Observers are currently monitoring official statements from Iranian state media and aviation authorities for further updates regarding regional stability.
