How To Fix Peer Not Authenticated Errors While Using AWS API Tools

Published Date Author: , Posted February 9th, 2016 at 6:18:24pm

I was getting the following errors when using an older version of the Amazon EC2 API Tools:

$ ec2-describe-regions
Unknown problem connecting to host: 'https://ec2.amazonaws.com'
Unable to execute HTTP request: peer not authenticated

The solution was to upgrade to the latest AWS CLI tools and start using the aws command instead. For example:
aws ec2 describe-regions --output text
