Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026: the CloudFront marketing page loads, but starting the service redirects Syrian users to AWS account signup, which fails with a Website Temporarily Unavailable error. The team contacted Amazon in March 2026, naming CloudFront among the blocked AWS services; no response has been recorded yet.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Amazon specifically naming CloudFront among the blocked AWS cloud services requiring access restoration for Syrian users.
