• Support Automatic Region Validation for af-south-1 (Africa (Cape Town)) #12940

[ewbankkit]

Until support is added to the AWS SDK and this is integrated into the Terraform AWS Provider, the provider's automatic region validation must be disabled:

provider "aws" {
  region = "eu-south-1"

  skip_region_validation = true
}

Please note that this new region requires a manual process to enable. Once enabled in the console, it takes a few minutes for everything to work properly.

Support added in AWS SDK v1.30.16:

• Update module aws/aws-sdk-go to v1.30.16 #12970

Support for automatic validation (as well as IDs in various data sources) of this new region has been merged and will release with version 2.60.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider, later this week.

Please note that this new region requires a manual process to enable. Once enabled in the console, it takes a few minutes for everything to work properly.

If the region is not enabled properly, or the enablement process is still in progress, you can receive errors like these:

$ terraform apply

Error: error validating provider credentials: error calling sts:GetCallerIdentity: InvalidClientTokenId: The security token included in the request is invalid.
    status code: 403, request id: 142f947b-b2c3-11e9-9959-c11ab17bcc63

  on main.tf line 1, in provider "aws":
   1: provider "aws" {

To use this new region before support has been added to Terraform AWS Provider version in use, you must disable the provider's automatic region validation via:

provider "aws" {
  # ... potentially other configuration ...

  region                 = "eu-south-1"
  skip_region_validation = true
}
