AWS S3 CLI - Could not connect to the endpoint URL

Question

$ aws s3 ls

Could not connect to the endpoint URL: \"https://s3.us-east-1a.amazonaws.com/\"

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

Couple things I've done to fix this :

1. Updated my CLI and it given this error (previous error was "aws connection aborted error 10013")

2. Tried to nslookup aws s3 endpoing : nslookup s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com

   DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.10.1

-> hmmm very weird

3. Went to windows network troubleshooting and selected to test access to specific page. It informed that Windows firewall blocked the connection. Fixed this

4. Received a new error , after fixing the request through firewal :

   An error occurred (RequestTimeTooSkewed) when calling the ListBuckets operation: The difference between the request time and the current time is too large.

5. Updated my date & time to automatic -> Fixed
