boto3 not able to access given region name while taking region provided by AWS Lambda

Question

I have boto client like this

client = boto3.client('rekognition', region_name="us-east-1")

I am using this client to detect text from image and deployed code in AWS region where Rekognition api is not available but provided the region-name where it is available in client. On executing/Testing the lambda function, it is giving

errorMessage": "Could not connect to the endpoint URL: \"https://rekognition.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/"

Why it is picking ap-south-1 as i provided in client-"us-east-1"

client = boto3.client('rekognition', region_name="us-east-1")

But when I run the code locally with region-name:- ap-south-1 and in client

client = boto3.client('rekognition', region_name="us-east-1")

its running wonderfully

but not running on AWS lambda

While successfully running when both the regions are same(us-east-1)

So great if anyone can provide any suggestion, Required Help soon!!!!!!!

Can you try `sess= boto3.session(region_name="us-east-1")` then only create the rekognition client `rekognition = sess.client('rekognition')`. Sometime new boto3 service client doesn't pass the region_name along. — mootmoot, Mar 16 '18 at 12:58

As on March 15th 2018, AWS Rekogniton is not supported in Mumbai (ap-south-1)

See supported regions: Amazon Rekognition - Available Regions
