@praveendev18 have you configured the AWS region?

https://docs.awspring.io/spring-cloud-aws/docs/3.1.0/reference/html/index.html#region

[praveendev18]

This is a Jenkins job which is trying to test the application. If I set spring.cloud.aws.region.static value will this work?

If deployed in some other region and we specify AWS_REGION, which will take precedence?

spring.cloud.aws.region.static or AWS_REGION?

[maciejwalkowiak]

This part will work if you set region statically but I don't know what happens then in your application.

If it's for testing, perhaps you can consider using Localstack with Testcontainers and then resolve region from the container.
