amplify configure does not list eu-north-1 region as an option

Note: If your issue/bug is regarding the AWS Amplify Console service, please log it in the Amplify Console GitHub Issue Tracker

Describe the bug amplify configure command does not list eu-north-1 as an region to select even though Amplify is available in that region.

Amplify CLI Version 4.29.4

To Reproduce Run amplify configure and see the list of available regions.

Expected behavior I would expect the list to contain all regions where Amplify is available.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac
• Node v14.13.0

@agordeev , What do you mean? aws configure --profile amplify-xxxxx will ask you to input the region (no list, you need to type the region name fully). aws configure replaces amplify configure you don’t need to call amplify configure after.

As far as I understand the amplify configure is just guides you into:

• Login to AWS Management Console
• Create a IAM user, for programmatic access with AdministratorAccess,
• Create a [local named profile] for aws cli

So the net result of amplify configure is just a new aws-cli’s named profile, you can create the named profile yourself and skip the amplify configure entirely.

I believe the workaround is to do this steps manually

• Create an IAM user called amplify-xxxxx with attached policy AdministratorAccess
• Note the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• Use aws configure --profile amplify-xxxxx to create a named profile (input the region, access key id, and secret access key)

Then rest of the tooling like amplify init will then rely on the named profile that you created. amplify init will ask you which named profile to use and you should just select amplify-xxxx.
