Exception in Boto3 - botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError

Question

When trying to connect to a database with this python code to test the connection.

import boto3
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')

for b in s3.buckets.all():
   print b.name

I am getting this error thrown at me.

Traceback (most recent call last):

botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://s3.us-east-5.amazonaws.com/"

The strange part is that the connection was working earlier in the day and then at it stopped working the same thing happened to me yesterday at the same time so I am assuming it is a network configuration issue. This question is the only one that is similar the solution the original poster stated was to unset both HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY which I attempted but it did not work.

You have configured AWS env incorrectly. Check your ~/.aws/config file. You must have configured it incorrectly as us-east-5 which is an invalid region. Change it to us-east-1. Or run aws configure command again and specify the correct region.

[default]
region = us-east-1

@helloV In my case I have the region configured correctly(ap-south-1) in the config file but still the error shows up. what else could be the cause?

vishal Over a year ago

@helloV

botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://ec2.ap-south.amazonaws.com/"

this is the error message.

@helloV Just now changed it to ap-south in the config file but still got the same error. could there be any other reason ?

@vishal.k you should set the config like: region=ap-south-1

helloV Over a year ago

@vishal.k Most likely Boto3 is getting the region from some other place. Check if region is configured in env variable AWS_DEFAULT_REGION If it is set, unset it and try again. See: boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/configuration.html

We got this issue (with status code 500 returned) out of the blue.

After some research we found out that there was some infra update on AWS which caused the service to be down.

You can find the current down\up services per zone and upcoming down time here

Got the same boto3 error.

In my case a config.lock and credentials.lock were created behind the scenes:

Removing them solved the issue.

Could you develop further? How to check if that happened and how to remove it?
