Hi. Problem is really serious, we can not use terraform for new regions

We also have this issue and it is blocking us from using Terraform in new regions.

Me too, I cannot use terraform to deploy an EKS Cluster in me-central-1. Is it because of this region release recently?

I am also experiencing this issue when using an AWS S3 bucket in me-central-1 as the state backend for my module. My module is only creating global resources like IAM roles.

[jwenz723]

My problem was due to the terraform cli version not being up to date. I updated to version 1.4.6 and now my issue with accessing a terraform s3 state bucket in me-central-1 is resolved.

Tried with terraform cli version 1.5.5 and still having same issue.

I have try with terraform 1.5.5 no luck, I tried with sts_region and endpoint block pointing to the sts URL, and no luck..

Hello! Is there any update on this?

You can set your terragrunt.hcl file to "ignore" a region. This may work for you. With Terragrunt, you can use this in your locals section:

  # The following locals are used for constructing multi region provider configurations for the underlying module.
  multi_region_vars = read_terragrunt_config(find_in_parent_folders("multi_region_common.hcl"))
  regions_to_ignore = "me_central_1"
  all_aws_regions   = [for region in local.multi_region_vars.locals.all_aws_regions : region if region != local.regions_to_ignore]  
  #all_aws_regions   = local.multi_region_vars.locals.all_aws_regions
  opt_in_regions    = local.multi_region_vars.locals.opt_in_regions

Had to do this when we bumped from AWS provider ~> 3.0 to >= 4.26.0 Which was needed when we bumped terraform-aws-service-catalog to v0.104.16 (which needed AWS 4.x)

Fixed via https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/pull/26590 in Terraform AWS Provider v4.29.0.
