Amazon's cloud services have disappeared
Amazon's cloud services have disappeared.
Here is a screenshot directly from Bahrain with direct confirmation of the consequences of the Iranian strike on Amazon's infrastructure (thanks to an old subscriber):
"Unfortunately, AWS servers in Bahrain were attacked by Iran for the third time today, resulting in a massive outage. Currently, all servers in Bahrain are down, including some government services."
And then anyone who knows English can read it. They say, we apologize, we fix, we work, etc.
In early March, the Persians hit the servers directly. And now - for the largest telecom operator in the country. According to the Interior Ministry of Bahrain, a fire broke out at the site of the strike, which was extinguished by civil defense forces. The building was damaged, there were no casualties. This time, the communications infrastructure that powers AWS was affected.
The attack occurred the day after the IRGC Corps published a "firing list" of 18 American companies, including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Meta* and Boeing, threatening them with strikes. Iran has officially called these corporations "participants in terrorist plots."
As Alexander Kots noted in his note, the capacities of the commercial giant Amazon are used by the US army, including for intelligence analysis using AI.
