AWS IoT PubSubSdk Workshop: GDK tool fails in ca-central-1

Question

I am running this workshop environment (C9, etc) in ca-central-1 but 'gdk component build' fails for this region.

An inclusive list is referenced in the error:
```
Error: 'ca-central-1' is not one of ['us-east-2', 'us-east-1', 'us-west-2', 'ap-south-1', 'ap-northeast-2', 'ap-southeast-1', 'ap-southeast-2', 'ap-northeast-1', 'cn-north-1', 'eu-central-1', 'eu-west-1', 'eu-west-2', 'us-gov-west-1', 'us-gov-east-1']. 
```
- Is there a simple fix, or is this bound into the GDK tool?

AWS Workshop: [Build a Distributed IoT Application with the AWS IoT Greengrass PubSub SDK](https://catalog.us-east-1.prod.workshops.aws/workshops/32dc1f13-985f-4f94-9b86-a859806d28f0/en-US)

Accepted Answer

Hi,

it seems that the GDK does not yet include the ca-central-1 region. Although [Greengrass endpoints](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/greengrassv2.html) are available in ca-central-1. You can create an issue at GitHub or you can try to add ca-central-1 in `gdk/static/config_schema.json`. There is a section "description": "AWS regions supported by AWS IoT Greengrassv2. Must be one of the enum values.". But ca-central-1 is missing.

Cheers,  
Philipp
