Not all available AWS regions work

[paulmarsicovetere]

I can configure bees up in the following regions:

us-east-1
us-west-1
us-west-2
eu-west-1
ap-southeast-2
ap-southeast-1
ap-northeast-1
sa-east-1

But for the following regions:
us-east-2
ca-central-1
eu-central-1
eu-west-2
ap-northeast-2
ap-south-1

I get this error each time:
Connecting to the hive. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/bees", line 6, in <module> main.main() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/beeswithmachineguns/main.py", line 270, in main parse_options() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/beeswithmachineguns/main.py", line 210, in parse_options bees.up(options.servers, options.group, options.zone, options.instance, options.type, options.login, options.key, options.subnet, options.bid) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/beeswithmachineguns/bees.py", line 176, in up raise Exception("Invalid zone specified? Unable to connect to region using zone name") Exception: Invalid zone specified? Unable to connect to region using zone name

Any ideas?

The version of boto probably needs to be updated in order to be aware of the latest region names. How did you install bees? Did you pull it from master or did you install it through pip?

I just ran pip install https://github.com/newsapps/beeswithmachineguns/archive/master.zip, so I will try updating the boto version and try again.

@paulmarsicovetere any update?

Hi,

Same here, eu-west-3 doesn't work. Fresh install.

I too encountered this issue. Running this: pip install --upgrade boto updated boto and solved the issue for me.
