Problem with aws-sdk, TimeoutError

help
1

I’m trying to use the aws-sdk. In server/main.js I’m trying to call describeLoadBalancers()

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import AWS from 'aws-sdk';

Meteor.startup(() => {
	// code to run on server at startup
	//check for configuration
	if (! Meteor.settings.aws)
	{
		console.log("WARNING: Configuration not found");
	} else {
		console.log("accessKeyId: " + Meteor.settings.aws.accessKeyId);

		AWS.config.update({
			accessKeyId: Meteor.settings.aws.accessKeyId,
			secretAccessKey: Meteor.settings.aws.secretAccessKey,
			region: Meteor.settings.aws.secretAccessKey,
			httpOptions: {timeout:5000}
		});

		var elb = new AWS.ELB();
		var params = { LoadBalancerNames: ['my-loadbalancer']};
		elb.describeLoadBalancers(params, function (err, data) {
			if (err)
				console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
			else
				console.log(data);           // successful response
		});

		

		console.log("exiting startup()...");
	}
});

but I just get this error:

I’m able to run the aws-cli in my terminal file so I think the network connection is ok. What could be the issue?

Nevermind. I see I passed a wrong value for region to AWS.config.update()
