Amazon Data Centers Sustain Drone Strike Damage
|
8.1
Amazon said three of its data centers in the Middle East — two in the United Arab Emirates and one in Bahrain — were damaged by drone strikes during the US-Iran war, triggering evacuations and service disruptions this week. An internal AWS document cited structural damage and flooding at at least one site, and the IRGC claimed responsibility; Amazon advised customers to enact disaster recovery plans.
