monitoring
Customers in the Middle East (Bahrain) region are operating in a reduced Availability Zone (AZ) configuration due to an ongoing AWS infrastructure issue.
The platform remains available, but some customers in this region may experience intermittent performance degradation or elevated error rates. Data plane proxy traffic is not impacted.
We are actively working with AWS to resolve the issue and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
Mar 20, 9:12 PM
monitoring
It was discovered that DNS for KIC reconciliation endpoints were still pointing to the out-of-service region. We have failed over these DNS records now to properly point to our new region.

Status Update (PDP – ME-SOUTH-1)
User permission data replication in ME-SOUTH-1 (Bahrain) region are experiencing extended latencies. Mitigation has been implemented to cap this to 15 minutes.
Updated data should now propagate within a maximum of 15 minutes.
We continue to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as needed.
Mar 2, 10:45 PM
monitoring
The following services have been restored:
- All Konnect UI-accessible products except for Event Gateway and Metering

We are actively migrating the affected services to operate on other Availability Zones in the Bahrain region (ME-SOUTH-1 Region), but critical AWS services are not responding in that region. Our engineers are working to restore full service functionality and we are communicating with AWS to attempt to determine our failover options. At this time we cannot provide an ETA.
We will provide further updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience.
Mar 2, 5:26 PM

We are actively migrating the affected services to operate on the two healthy Availability Zones in the Bahrain region (ME-SOUTH-1 Region). Our engineers are working to restore full service functionality and expect the migration to be completed within the next few hours.
We will provide further updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience.
Mar 2, 3:26 PM
