- Flink, AWS us-west-2: all running jobs are degraded, and new job submissions will fail.
- Cluster Linking, AWS us-west-2: links to Enterprise clusters are impacted.
- Topic operations, AWS us-west-2: unavailable for Freight and some Basic and Standard clusters.
- Tableflow, AWS us-west-2: All operations are unavailable (additionally, topics utilizing the us-west-2 Schema Registry may be impacted)
- Connect, AWS us-west-2: Some connectors dependent on unavailable Schema Registry clusters may be affected
- Notifications, all regions: delivery is delayed. Customers may not receive notifications and alerts until the backlog clears.

Confirmed not impacted:
- Regular produce and consume operations on Kafka clusters are not affected.
- Topic-related operations on Enterprise and Dedicated clusters are not affected.

We are actively applying a mitigation. We will post the next update by 18:30 UTC, or sooner if service is restored.
