Unable to perform SSH cases - HTTP 401 being returned from a wrong region

Hello Everyone,

I've been stuck with this issue for a week now. I've looked around all the threads related to this issue and apparently it's an open issue and there is no definitive solution yet.

The issue is - even though I have the region to use (in my client config) is "us-west-2", my SSH cases are failing with a HTTP 401 at a wrong region. I scanned through the entire code and replaced all the "us-east-1" references to "us-west-2", but still I'm unable to get around this issue. I believe the code as got to be making an AWS SDK call to fetch the current region via API and somehow getting "us-east-1" retuned and overrides my config. This has absolutely baffled me for days now.

Please, anyone who had resolved this earlier or can think of a better solution, help me resolve this. Following is the error log. Thank you!
