[Bug] Issues when creating workspace in HongKong region

[dengmingtong]

Describe the bug Currently, I have deployed SWB successfully in Hongkong region based on hongkong-fix branch.

I found some issues during using swb workbench in Hongkong region. I have fixed some of them and sent pull request : https://github.com/awslabs/service-workbench-on-aws/pull/886

And there are still some error as below:

1, Stop "EC2 Linux-v1" workspace failed and send SSH public Key failed.

2, Create "EMR-v1" workspace failed. The CloudFormation stack show error as below: ElasticMapReduce Cluster with Id j-1J30PBZ67SBXL, is in state TERMINATING and failed to stabilize due to the following reason: {Code: BOOTSTRAP_FAILURE,Message: Master instance (i-0529cfead1240df83) failed attempting to download bootstrap action 3 file from S3}

3, Create "EC2 Windows-v1" workspace failed. The CloudFormation stack show error as below: Failed to receive 1 resource signal(s) within the specified duration

Thanks, Mingtong

Hi @dengmingtong,

1. Send SSH public key failed because ec2-instance-connect is not supported in Hong Kong. link.

Stopping the instance failed because of this error

You can find the error in the Step Function's lambda cloudwatch logs. It looks like it's probably cause by this reason.

Try editing the code here to be const sts = new aws.sdk.STS({ apiVersion: '2011-06-15', stsRegionalEndpoints: 'regional' });

2. The bootstrap actions are defined here. You can start your debugging here. After updating the template, be sure to redeploy your code. You will see a new workspace type, EMR-v2. Import that.

Hello, Thanks for your response, I will test it later according to your suggestion.

You did not mention about windows workspace type, could you help to check why windows workspace type do not work in HongKong region?
