Domain is created in the wrong region

I have a serverless app that I am deploying to us-west-2. My ACM certificate is in us-east-1 like it should be.

However, when I run sls create-domain, it successfully makes the domain in us-east-1:

Serverless: 'api.example.app' was created/updated. New domains may take up to 40 minutes to be initialized.

When I run sls deploy, it fails since it cannot find the domain in us-west-2:

 Error --------------------------------------------------
 
  Error: Could not set up basepath mapping. Try running sls create_domain first.
Error: Error: 'api.example.app' could not be found in API Gateway.
NotFoundException: Invalid domain name identifier specified
 
     For debugging logs, run again after setting the "SLS_DEBUG=*" environment variable.

Files

serverless.yml

# ...
custom:
   customDomain:
     domainName: api${self:provider.variables.apiDomainName}
     basePath: ''
     stage: ${self:provider.stage}
     createRoute53Record: true
# ...

Possible Solution?

Perhaps when the API Gateway object gets created, a region can be passed to it that is set from the custom section in the yml file?

this.apigateway = new AWS.APIGateway({ region: customRegion || 'us-east-1' });

I had the exact same issue as ascheucher, one solution is to use the certificateArn property instead of the certificateName property, then the certificate can be in any region while you still do the api gateway calls in the correct region.

So I also had the same issue. After spending a lot of time digging around I got it to work. Here is the answer/solution.

1. Certificates for CloudFront can only be in the us-east-1 region. Refer This

2. Add region to provider as

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10
  stage: dev
  region: ap-southeast-1

1. Create the domain using the normal command

sls create_domain
