AWS Cli doesn't include specific command switch even though the documentation shows that it should, any idea how to solve it?

Question

AWS have announced 5 days ago that they now support VPC peering over different regions.

Source: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/announcing-support-for-inter-region-vpc-peering/

In regard to the AWS Cli command which helps you achieve that peering connection, please check this link: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ec2/create-vpc-peering-connection.html

You will see that the command has been extended and now can get a new switch "[--peer-region value]" but after upgrading my aws-cli to the latest version, the switch is not included there.

These are the switches I have:

NAME
       describe-vpc-peering-connections -

DESCRIPTION
       Describes one or more of your VPC peering connections.

       See also: AWS API Documentation

SYNOPSIS
            describe-vpc-peering-connections
          [--filters <value>]
          [--dry-run | --no-dry-run]
          [--vpc-peering-connection-ids <value>]
          [--cli-input-json <value>]
          [--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

The AWS Cli version I have installed is:

aws-cli/1.14.2 Python/2.7.10 Darwin/16.4.0 botocore/1.8.6

The Python 3.6 aws-cli also lacks this switch.

Can it be that the official AWS documentation has been updated but the AWS Cli not?

Anyone else bumped into this issue?

The command create-vpc-peering-connection has the option --peer-region on my system.

You show the command syntax for describe-vpc-peering-connections. This command does not have the --peer-region option.

Are you confusing the two commands together?
