Aws-sdk gem: SocketError: getaddrinfo: name or service unknown
I am using aws-sdk gem
. I want to stop and start an aws instance using the "aws-sdk" harness.
Below is my code to start an already slouching amazon instance but it gives me error like SocketError: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
ec2 = AWS::EC2::Client.new(
region: 'us-west-2c',
credentials: {:access_key_id => 'XXXXXXXXX',:secret_access_key => 'XXXXXXXXXXX'}
)
resp = ec2.start_instances({
instance_ids: ["i-xxxxxx"],
additional_info: "String"
})
Please, help
Thank,

After a lot of research, I found out that I am specifying the wrong region.
My region was "us-west-2" and I used the region as "us-west-2c". It was not a region, but an accessibility zone.
After changing the area to "us-west-2" it works
AWS.config(
region: 'us-west-2',
access_key_id: 'xxxxxx',
secret_access_key: 'xxxxxxxxx'
)
ec2 = AWS::EC2::Client.new
resp = ec2.start_instances({
instance_ids: ["i-xxxxxxxxx"],
additional_info: "String"
})
