We are aware of an issue affecting Octopus Cloud customers running deployments that interact with AWS, including EKS/Kubernetes targets and AWS health checks. Impacted customers may see authentication errors when running these deployments. Our team is actively investigating and working to resolve the issue. Workaround: If you are affected, adding your AWS region as an environment variable in your script steps may resolve the issue: export AWS_REGION= for Bash $env:AWS_REGION = "" for Powershell E.g export AWS_REGION=ap-southeast-2 $env:AWS_REGION = "ap-southeast-2" We apologise for the disruption and will share further updates as our investigation progresses. If you need help in the meantime, please contact us at [email protected]
