We are experiencing increased error rates in some of our Confluent Cloud services in AWS me-south-1 and me-central-1 regions. This began at approximately 05:00 AM UTC today and is linked to disruptions in AWS’s availability zones in these regions (mec1-az1, mec1-az3 and mes1-az2). Team is currently working on mitigating these and will provide updates as the situation evolves.
