## About

High-performance MySQL and PostgreSQL compatible managed cloud database

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026. The AWS product and pricing pages load normally, but the AWS Console and account services are blocked: signing in returns an access-restricted error and creating an account fails, so the service is browsable but unusable from Syria. No outreach specific to this service has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-15 — Investigated. Community testing from Syria over DSL confirmed that Amazon Aurora's product pages on aws.amazon.com load without issues, but the AWS Console and account services are blocked. Attempting to sign in at console.aws.amazon.com returns a 400 error page with the message "Access restricted" indicating the service is not available in the region. Attempting to create a new account at portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup returns a "Website Temporarily Unavailable" page. The AWS Free Tier and product information pages load normally. The service is browsable but unusable without console access. Status updated from blocked to limited.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
