Answer 1

are you currently facing this error : "An error occurred (InvalidS3ObjectException) when calling the IndexFaces operation: Unable to get object metadata from S3. Check object key, region and/or access permissions"?

I was able to run the sample Amazon Rekognition CLI command "index-faces" from the Amazon Rekogniton tutorial without any error as illustrated in the screenshot below :

Here's some tips for consideration in-case anyone else runs into this issue :

• Make sure both S3 & Rekognition are using the same region i.e S3 bucket should be created in the same region as where Rekognition collection was created.
• Since Amazon Rekognition supports both .jpg and .png formats, make sure the file name & format referenced in the CLI “index-faces” command matches the actual file in your S3 bucket.

Hope this helps.
