server can't find sts.eu-cental-1.amazonaws.com

Question

Looks like record about sts.eu-cental-1.amazonaws.com is missed. I try to assume role in this region via terraform and also I used aws cli. If I specify this region I got error. If I change region to another one, all work perfectly.
Example:
nslookup sts.eu-cental-1.amazonaws.com
Server:         172.26.224.1
Address:        172.26.224.1#53

** server can't find sts.eu-cental-1.amazonaws.com: NXDOMAIN

nslookup sts.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com
Server:         172.26.224.1
Address:        172.26.224.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   sts.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com
Address: 52.46.200.7

Hi, fix your typo cental -> central and it should be fine!

```
nslookup sts.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com 
Server:		192.168.1.1
Address:	192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	sts.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
Address: 54.239.54.207

```

Best,

I dont see an error with DNS, however make sure your STS Region is enabled in your Account..
Goto IAM, Account Settings, Scroll down to STS and ensure its set to Active.
The other option in TF is to use a different STS Endpoint for the region i.e. Use Global
