TLDR

  • AWS’s Bahrain region has been disrupted by drone activity linked to the ongoing US-Israel-Iran conflict
  • This is the second time AWS Bahrain has been struck by drones since the conflict began
  • Earlier this month, both Bahrain and UAE AWS facilities were hit by power outages
  • Amazon is actively migrating affected customers to alternate AWS regions
  • AWS is Amazon’s primary profit driver, making disruptions operationally and financially consequential

Amazon’s AWS cloud infrastructure in Bahrain has been disrupted following drone activity in the area, the company confirmed Monday. The disruption is tied to the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.

Amazon said it is working to migrate customers to alternate regions while recovery efforts continue. The company did not say how long the disruption is expected to last or give detail on the extent of the damage.

AWS urged customers to temporarily switch the registered region on their applications to alternative locations, according to a separate statement to CNBC.

Second Strike in Weeks

This is the second time the Bahrain region has been hit since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Earlier this month, AWS reported that facilities in both Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates had been affected by power outages, with recovery work already underway at that point.

The latest disruption follows an Iranian drone strike that impacted the vicinity of the AWS facility in Bahrain, according to reports from CNBC.

AWS is the cloud backbone for a wide range of well-known websites and government operations. It is also Amazon’s biggest profit engine, which makes any prolonged outage worth watching closely.

Amazon Stock Reaction

Reuters was first to report the disruption. Amazon has not provided a timeline for full recovery.

AMZN stock closed at $210.14 on March 23, up 2.32% on the day. In pre-market trading it slipped 0.44% to $209.32, though it’s unclear how much of that move is tied to the AWS news.

Amazon has not said which customers or services have been affected, and no further updates had been issued at the time of writing.

Vitalik Buterin lays out new Ethereum roadmap at EDCON

The post Vitalik Buterin lays out new Ethereum roadmap at EDCON appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. At EDCON 2025 in Osaka, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered fresh details of Ethereum’s technical roadmap, delineating both short-term scaling goals and longer-term protocol transformations. The immediate priority, according to slides from the presentation, is scaling at the L1 level by raising the gas limit while maintaining decentralization. Tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas repricing, and slot optimization were highlighted as means to improve throughput and efficiency. A central theme of the presentation was privacy, divided into protections for on-chain “writes” (transactions, voting, DeFi operations) and “reads” (retrieving blockchain state). Write privacy could be achieved through client-side zero-knowledge proofs, encrypted voting, and mixnet-based transaction relays. Read privacy efforts include trusted execution environments, private information retrieval techniques, dummy queries to obscure access patterns, and partial state nodes that reveal only necessary data. These measures aim to reduce information leakage across both ends of user interaction. In the medium term, Ethereum’s focus shifts to cross-Layer-2 interoperability. Vitalik described trustless L2 asset transfers, proof aggregation, and faster settlement mechanisms as key milestones toward a seamless rollup ecosystem. Faster slots and stronger finality, supported by techniques like erasure coding and three-stage finalization (3SF), are also in scope to enhance responsiveness and security. The roadmap also includes Stage 2 rollup advancements to strengthen verification efficiency, alongside a call for broader community participation to help build and maintain these improvements. The long-term “Lean Ethereum” blueprint emphasizes security, simplicity and optimization, with ambitions for quantum-resistant cryptography, formal verification of the protocol, and adoption of ideal primitives for hashing, signatures, and zero-knowledge proofs. Buterin stressed that these improvements are not just for scalability but to make Ethereum a stable, trustworthy foundation for the broader decentralized ecosystem. This is a developing story.
