ap-northeast-3 region is no longer a local region (as of 1st March 2021)

[snayler0]

Describe the bug
ap-northeast-3 region has moved from a local region to a GA region.

The code needs to be updated to reflect this.

Version of AWS SDK for Go?
v1.37.22 (all versions will have this issue though)

Thanks for reaching out @snayler0 The SDK will support any publically released region without an API update. You should be able to use the ap-northeast-3 region now with the SDK, and shouldn't need to wait for an update.

With that said the SDKs will include the region in its metadata when the region is made available to the SDK's models.

Is there a chance this may be different, as the region has changed from a local to a global region?

See the following issue in the terraform aws provider repo that lead me here :)

This doesn't seem to be the case. You can see here the ap-northeast-3 region is missing from the list of regions that endpoints will be generated for.

I can confirm that it is not working for me directly in the SDK or Terraform's provider as @snayler0 stated above.

@mcalhoun correct the ap-northeast-3 region won't be enumerated in the list of regions in the SDK until the SDK's models are updated. But you should be able to use "ap-northeast-3" as a string when configuring the SDK Config, and API Clients.

Are you having issues with using the region directly in the SDK and not as a constant?

Today's AWS SDK Go release includes the ap-northeast-3 region in the endpoints model: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/pull/3809/files#diff-783c87adfc4cf462f2451c6b5dd3078c96de3e6d29526e86cb6f086b0dcea90d

Since the SDK has now been updated to include ap-northeast-3 region in release, v1.37.24 I think we can close this issue. If you have any issues using that region, or the SDK please let us know!
