## About

Managed in-memory caching service supporting Redis and Memcached engines

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Community testing in April 2026 confirmed that both ways to start using Amazon ElastiCache fail from Syria: new AWS account signup returns a Website Temporarily Unavailable error and the AWS console returns a 400 Access Restricted geo-block, while only the marketing page loads. The block has been verified by community reports, with no outreach to the company recorded for ElastiCache yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-08 — Verified. Community testing confirmed Amazon ElastiCache remains blocked from Syria.

## 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.
