## About

Platform to build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026. The landing page loads and a demo project page is reachable, but clicking "Get started" redirects to the AWS Console, which returns a 400 "Access Restricted" error stating AWS does not provide services in the user's region. The team sent official outreach to the company in March 2026, naming SageMaker among the blocked services; no response or resolution yet.

## Official timeline

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

## Community reports

- 2026-03-28 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Amazon SageMaker remains blocked in Syria. The commercial landing page at aws.amazon.com/sagemaker loads successfully, and the "Try a demo" button opens an accessible demo project creation page on Amazon DataZone.

## 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.
