Question

What happens if I try to use a regional AWS STS endpoint that has been deactivated for my AWS account?

Answer 1

If you attempt to use a regional AWS STS endpoint that has been deactivated for your AWS account, you will see an AccessDenied exception from AWS STS with the following message: “AWS STS is not activated in this region for account: AccountID. Your account administrator can activate AWS STS in this region using the IAM console.”
