There is an atmosphere of tension due to the continuous attacks on Iran by America and Israel, all three countries are suffering losses in this attack. Now recently, Amazon’s cloud unit AWS has also informed that the power of the company’s data center in the United Arab Emirates had to be shut down for some time, because some things hit the center, which caused sparks and caused a fire. After the attacks by America and Israel on Iran, UAE is struggling with retaliatory missile and drone attacks by Iran.
Iran’s attacks have targeted airports, ports and residential areas across the country and large parts of the Gulf. When Reuters asked AWS whether the incident at the data center was related to the strike, the company neither confirmed nor denied it. AWS said that at approximately 4:30 a.m. PST, one of our availability zones (mec1-az2) was impacted by objects that hit the data center, causing sparks and a fire.
AWS said the fire department cut off power to the area while crews were extinguishing the fire. The data center operator said that it will take several hours to restore connectivity in the affected zone and normal work is going on in other zones of UAE.
