About AWS me-central-1

AWS me-central-1 (Middle East (UAE)) is one of Amazon Web Services's smaller-footprint regions in United Arab Emirates. It is most often used for Middle East workloads with regional data-residency needs, which means an outage here tends to surface as customer-facing issues for those workloads first. What makes me-central-1 distinct is that it is a smaller geographic-coverage region for United Arab Emirates. This page tracks reachability and latency from outside Amazon Web Services's own network, so a regional issue can be visible here before it lands on the official AWS status page.
