AWS regional outage in Bahrain and UAE could press AMZN cloud margins

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Regional outages raise short-term concerns about AWS uptime, customer credits, and capex adjustments; for AMZN, any persistence can weigh cloud revenue visibility and margins, especially in a region where AWS has a smaller but growing footprint. Similar past outages in data centers have led to service credits and temporary margin pressure, though full-year impact depends on duration and customer resilience.
