Deploy Error: InvalidLocationConstraint: The specified location-constraint is not valid

[cormip]

Using mup v1.5.10 successfully deploys apps to AWS and DigitalOcean without problems.

However, I'm attempting to use plugin mup-aws-beanstalk v0.8.0 but I'm receiving an error during deployment:

Any thoughts on how to get past this?

OK, this error was caused by specifying app.region: 'us-east-1'.

Apparently there's a weird bug in the AWS SDK createBucket that requires you to NOT to specify a locationContraint if creating a bucket in 'us-east-1'.

Once I removed the app.region parameter, the deploy script proceeded without error. I did not close this issue, because this should be documented in the docs as a warning.

Hi @cormip, did you open a PR for this to be documented in the docs?

Just ran into the same problem. Removing "us-east-1" helped.
