## About

Managed relational database service supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL, and more

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. While the RDS marketing pages load, the AWS Console and account signup geo-block users in Syria, which is the consistent pattern across AWS services. The team contacted Amazon in March 2026, naming RDS among the blocked AWS services that need access restored for Syrian users; no response has been recorded yet.

## Official timeline

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

## 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.
