AWS S3 CLI - Could not connect to the endpoint URL

Question

$ aws s3 ls

Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://s3.us-east-1a.amazonaws.com/"

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

Your region would have not been set correctly in the ~/.aws/config file. In that file, you have something like this:

[default]

region=us-east-1a

…

 

Fix the region to us-east-1 replacing us-east-1a then it will work.
