HI, I faced the same issue : which is a GUI design error more than an issue : you can fill in whatever value you need, even if not listed !
It is not natural for a dropdown menu, nothing tells you you can, it requires a "usability fix".
Remove entirely the dropdown would be better than this.
see #19 and #36 (that's where I found the idea to 'type in', no-one can guess that)
Same with the pre-defined eu-west-2 region, which is actually supposed to be eu-west-1.
EDIT: As mentioned by @squalou, you can actually type in an arbitrary region name, but that is not obvious at all, works as a quick fix though.
resolved in v1.2.0
In v1.1.2, the regions supported by the plugin were updated to reflect where Timestream is available.
However, the available West Coast region is us-west-2, and not us-west-1: https://github.com/grafana/timestream-datasource/blob/master/src/common/regions.ts
This is confirmed in the pricing page which shows available regions: https://aws.amazon.com/timestream/pricing/. Note: "US West (Oregon)" is us-west-2
This causes the Grafana UI to not allow us-west-2 to be configured as a Timestream data source. It allows us-west-1, where Timestream is not currently supported.
