The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.
Current status: Since our last update, we have seen periods of improved provisioning performance while preserving available compute resources and coordinating closely with our third-party cloud provider. Resource availability remains constrained and variable, and provisioning delays or failures may still occur. The provider continues to project improved resource availability in the specified region by the end of October. We will provide another update within 7 days, or sooner if there is a material change. Customer experience: Customers in the specified region may still encounter delays, timeouts, or failures when running Snowpark Container Services workloads, including starting or resuming Notebooks, provisioning or resuming compute pools, and setting up OpenFlow runtimes. Virtual Warehouses: Customers using second generation (Gen2) warehouses may experience delays or intermittent failures when starting or resuming their warehouses, which can extend query run times or delay completion of data pipelines. Warehouses that are already running are generally less affected. ETA: Based on information from our third-party cloud platform provider, we currently expect additional compute resources to become available in the specified region by late October, although the benefit may vary by workload. We'll provide an updated ETA if that timeline changes. Workaround: While we remain focused on reducing provisioning times and building on measures that have already shown improvement, we recommend the following actions, where feasible for affected customers. -Delay migrating warehouse-based Notebooks to SPCS where possible. -For customers experiencing Gen2 warehouse start or resume delays, and where appropriate for their workload, moving the affected warehouse to Gen1 may provide short-term relief. Gen1 warehouses are not affected by this capacity constraint, but Gen1 capacity is limited and performance characteristics may differ. -Contact Snowflake Support for case-by-case assistance with SPCS compute-pool failures. Incident start time: 08:41 UTC August 09, 2026 Preliminary root cause: A third-party cloud platform is experiencing constrained compute capacity in the specified region, limiting the availability of compute resources for Snowpark Container Services and causing delays or failures when provisioning or resuming virtual warehouses.
We are providing an update on the disruption affecting the Middle East (UAE) (me-central-1) Region. After a thorough assessment, we have determined that we are unable to restore access to the resources and data hosted exclusively in the mec1-az2 Availability Zone. We continue to work on recovering regional resources, as well as zonal resources hosted in the other affected Availability Zones (mec1-az1 and mec1-az3). Since the disruption began in March, most customers have been able to re-establish their operations in other Regions by restoring backups or copying data that remained accessible. AWS Support remains available to help customers who need assistance moving their applications to alternate Regions. We remain committed to supporting our customers in the UAE. We are working on replacing the affected infrastructure and will provide an update on the restoration of our services in the coming months. We have notified the relevant authorities and continue to work with them toward that goal.
Our teams have identified the cause for this problem and are working on a fix. We will continue updating this incident with the latest updates as soon as they're available.
