It’s not entirely clear what is happening, but AWS Bahrain region is currently operating only in a very limited capacity. Given the ongoing situation, there is no clear timeline for full recovery.
Normally, I would wait for AWS to restore service to avoid any data loss. In this case, the timeline is uncertain, so I decided to migrate all customers previously hosted in Bahrain to Europe to restore service as soon as possible.
However, this required restoring data from a cross-regional backup, which was approximately 20 hours behind. I apologize for the data loss - any work during that period will need to be re-entered. I will be reviewing how to improve system resiliency to reduce the impact of situations like this in the future.
When AWS Bahrain becomes available again, I can make it possible to download backup files containing data up to the time of the outage.
