AWS CLI : Could not connect to the endpoint URL : "https://sts.amazonaws.com/"

Question

We have trouble to execute any command on Windows AWS CLI. After AWS Configure as follows, almost every command returns the sts access error.

-- AWS Configure
aws_access_key_id=XXXXXXXX
anw_secreat_key_id=XXXXXXX
region=ap-northeast-1
output = json

-- command & error message
aws s3 ls
Could not connect to the endpoint URL : "https://sts.amazonaws.com/"

If you went trought the same kind of issue, could you kindly tell me what should be re-configured or added, like any special security group etc. ?

Any advice would be appreciated again.

Answer 1

I was having this issue as well. The problem was with my machine. Running ipconfig /renew on my Windows 10 machine solved the problem.

Hopefully this helps someone else some day.

Answer 2

To access S3 of another account using VPC endpoint in a closed area, the following addition may be required depending on the version of AWS CLI.

.aws/config

sts_regional_endpoints=regional
