We have been monitoring ongoing instability affecting AWS UAE infrastructure at the DXB-A1 PoP. New provisioning at this location remains suspended, and it is not in use for data traffic.
To improve portal stability for tenants in this region, we will be removing DXB-A1 from affected instances and applying the 26.1.1 release upgrade, which was previously deferred for impacted customers. This maintenance will be processed over three days, outside of local business hours.
No action is required on your part. Once maintenance is complete, you may provision at an alternative regional PoP. We recommend:
Abu Dhabi, UAE (AUH-O1)
If you have questions or would like to discuss migration options, please contact FortiCare Support (https://www.fortinet.com/support/contact) and reference FortiSASE Operations ticket #457146.
