@xfudox please rotate the API Key you provided in your taskcat config.

This usually happens when you provide credentials for one partition (govcloud etc) and try to launch in another

Ok got it.

Read online that this error can occur when credentials are invalid or wrongly formatted, and than noticed that i mistakenly copy-pasted $AWS_REGION as input for aws configure set aws_access_key_id command.

Fixed it, not it works perfectly.
