Your **may** have to add the following to the command to force it to use AWS server in the U.S. –region us-east-1 There could be other servers in the U.S. West Coast that DeepLearning could be using. ---

I am also getting the same error. And when adding the region to the command then getting below error. An error occurred (InvalidClientTokenId) when calling the DescribeDBInstances operation: The security token included in the request is invalid. ---
