AWS [Errno -2] Name or service not known

Question

I used SSH Secure Shell and run with linux command line and tried to stop and start the Instance. But I got error. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Command as below:

[tomcat@dlap54v ~]$ aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids i-e3a2b929

Command Output:

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='ec2.ap-southeast-1a.amazonaws.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by <class 'socket.gaierror'>: [Errno -2] Name or service not known)

Answer 1

It's because of region. I used Asia Pacific (Singapore) for the region because I am from Singapore. It keeps show error like "Name or service not known" So, what you can do is choose US East(N.Virgina). It's working for me now.
