The Middle East (Bahrain) region is an opt-in Region that is not enabled by default in your AWS account. When you're experiencing issues with enabling this region, here are a few things to consider:
-
Opt-in Regions like Middle East (Bahrain) require manual activation before you can use them with AWS services.
-
The enabling process might take some time to complete, but if it's continuously showing "enabling" without completing, there might be an issue with your request.
-
Make sure you have the appropriate permissions to enable regions in your AWS account. This typically requires administrative privileges.
-
If the issue persists, you may want to try enabling the region through a different method - for example, if you're using the Console Mobile Application, try using the full AWS Management Console instead, or vice versa.
-
You could also try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser if you're experiencing UI issues.
If the problem continues, I would recommend contacting AWS Support for direct assistance with your specific account issue, as they can investigate what might be preventing the region from being successfully enabled.
