When we were troubleshooting an issue with the BGP status of a Private Virtual Interface (VIF), we encountered that the BGP status in the router was up and we are able to communicate with our resources in AWS while in the AWS console, it was still down.
After some time, the BGP status of our Private Virtual Interface was also changed to up.

Unfortunately, the location attribute is not in the region code that we use when programming in Python and Boto3, like us-east-1. Instead, it is descriptive like US East (N. Virginia). This is not readily available in Boto3 client or resource.
Below is the python function get_region_name, this converts the region code, eu-west-2, to the region name that AWS Price List API attribute location will accept, EU (London).
import json
from pkg_resources import resource_filename
def get_region_name(region_code):
endpoint_file = resource_filename('botocore', 'data/endpoints.json')
with open(endpoint_file, 'r') as f:
endpoint_data = json.load(f)
region_name = endpoint_data['partitions'][0]['regions'][region_code]['description']
region_name = region_name.replace('Europe', 'EU')
return region_name
if __name__ == "__main__":
region_code = 'ap-south-1'
region_name = get_region_name(region_code)
print(region_name)
region_code = 'eu-west-2'
region_name = get_region_name(region_code)
print(region_name)
region_code = 'us-east-2'
region_name = get_region_name(region_code)
print(region_name)Output
Asia Pacific (Mumbai)
EU (London)
US East (Ohio)I tried accessing the AWS Price List API using the Singapore region (ap-southeast-1) but it resulted the error Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://api.pricing.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/".
But whenever I use the N. Virginia Region (us-east-1) it works without any issues.
