S3 not being created on the right region

[hernan82arg]

Hi there,

I've set aws provider to eu-west-2 and I'm trying to create a bucket on us-east-1, when I run the plan I get the bucket is going to be created on the right region, but after I apply, it gets created where the provider is configured (eu-west-2) and if I run plan again, terraform wants to change the region to us-east-1

$ terraform -v
Terraform v0.10.4

region: eu-west-2

Code I'm running:

provider "aws" {
    region = "${var.region}"

    assume_role {
        role_arn     = "arn:aws:iam::${var.account}:role/${var.role}"
        session_name = "Terraform"
    }
}


resource "aws_s3_bucket" "mycompany_logs" {
  bucket = "someTag-${var.project}-${var.environment}-someBucketName"
  acl    = "private"
  region = "us-east-1"

  tags {
      Name = "${var.project}-${var.environment}-someBucketName"
      Project = "${var.project}"
      Environment = "${var.environment}"
  }

  lifecycle {
      prevent_destroy = true
  }
}

Plan output:

Terraform will perform the following actions:

• aws_s3_bucket.mycompany_logs
  id:
  acceleration_status:
  acl: "private"

  bucket: "someTag-someProject-mycompany-logs"
