aws s3 ls gives error botocore.utils.BadIMDSRequestError: <botocore.awsrequest.AWSRequest object at 0x7f3f6cb44d00>

Question

Recently I installed aws cli on a linux machine following the documentation from aws official website. In the first go, I was able to run the s3 commands without any issue. As part of my development, I uninstalled aws-cli and re-installed it. I was getting the error botocore.utils.BadIMDSRequestError: <botocore.awsrequest.AWSRequest object at 0x7f3f6cb44d00>

when I execute aws s3 ls

Answer 1

I figured it out. I just need to add the region

aws configure

AWS Access Key ID [******************RW]:
AWS Secret Access Key [******************7/]:
Default region name [None]: **us-east-1**

Then it works!

Thanks.
