Notes from the build

AWS Bahrain region unrecoverable: what the 15 September notice actually says, what multi-AZ was designed to withstand, and the cross-region backup clause a Pakistani software house writes next

AWS says it cannot restore data hosted exclusively in Bahrain or in one UAE zone. The notice read line by line: multi-AZ survives one zone, not a region; the copy elsewhere was always the customer's job; the five-line clause and checklist for the next contract.
