Exception in Boto3 - botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError

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

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
