Hi @sing22, thanks for posting the crash dump. What happens if you try

AWS_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/your/aws/config cartography --neo4j-uri <uri for your neo4j instance; usually bolt://localhost:7687> --aws-sync-all-profiles

like in step 3 here?

Without the --aws-sync-all-profiles switch, cartography will create a “fake profile” here, and I believe this results in the NoRegionError.

Let me know what happens and we can talk about how we can improve it.
