I’m getting the following error when I try to run kubernetes on aws

Answer 1

I think the bucket is created in another region than Kubernetes tries to access. Looks like the aws cmdline tool is confused about the region: aws: error: argument --region: expected one argument

When it can't determine the region, it defaults to one of the us regions.

Answer 2

It was a bug on their part. I believe its sorted now so I think it should work.

S3 was consistent which caused this error.
