Configure Step 7 (creating an S3 bucket). If setting up in us-east-1 AWS region, the current code didn't work. This issue has been mentioned elsewhere (https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/811 and https://github.com/heptio/ark/issues/284); I don't fully understand it, but it seems that when creating an S3 bucket in us-east-1, the code should not specify the region. To fix this, I had to make a minor change to the s3_create_bucket() function, and get rid of the "LocationConstraint" option (since I'm using us-east-1).
This stack trace from Hanyu is probably the same issue:
