## About

Global content delivery network for fast and secure web distribution

## 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.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent to Amazon specifically naming CloudFront among the blocked AWS cloud services requiring access restoration for Syrian users.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-28 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Amazon CloudFront remains blocked in Syria. The commercial landing page at aws.amazon.com/cloudfront loads successfully, but clicking "Get started with CloudFront" redirects to portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup where AWS displays a "Website Temporarily Unavailable" error page, blocking account creation and access to the service.

## 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. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
