Iranian drone strikes caused permanent loss of some customer data stored in AWS data centers in Bahrain and the UAE, overwhelming AWS's multi-zone resilience and resulting in unrecoverable resources in parts of these regions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

AWS's resilience model failed in the Middle East after multiple zones suffered physical destruction. You must now build backups and disaster recovery plans that extend beyond single cloud regions to survive geopolitical shocks.
