Mar 01 10:46 PM PST We can confirm that a localized power issue has affected another Availability Zone in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region (mec1-az3). Customers are also experiencing increased EC2 APIs and instance launch errors for the remaining zone (mec1-az1). At this point it is not possible to launch new instances in the region, although existing instances should not be affected in mec1-az1. Other AWS Services, such as DynamoDB and S3 are also experiencing significant error rates and latencies. We are actively working to restore power and connectivity, at which time we will begin to work to recover affected resources. As of this time, we expect recovery is multiple hours away. For customers that can, we recommend failing away to another AWS Region at this time. We will provide an update by 12:00 AM PST, or sooner if we have additional information to share.
Update – 13 October 2026. Auvious services in the Middle East (UAE) region remain unavailable. This region runs on Amazon Web Services' ME-CENTRAL-1 data centres, which were physically damaged in March 2026. AWS has stated that it cannot restore one of the region's three availability zones and is still recovering the other two; it has not announced a restoration date. The capacity left in the region, including the database services our platform depends on, is not sufficient to run the service.
Customers served from the UAE region can be supported from our Middle East (Dammam) region — please contact support@auvious.com.
We will post an update as soon as AWS restores the region or our plans change.
