Invalid LocationConstraint error in lab 03_QuestionAnswering/knowledge-bases /0_create_ingest_documents_test_kb.ipynb

[GAcharyaOS]

The jupyter notebook provided in the lab does not work for deployment in us-east-1 region. Remove the item in the bold from the below code in the notebook cell to create S3 bucket for knowledgebase :

Create S3 bucket for knowledge base data source

s3bucket = s3_client.create_bucket(
Bucket=bucket_name**,
CreateBucketConfiguration={ 'LocationConstraint': region_name }**
)

[GAcharyaOS]

NOTE : Above suggested change only apply to deployment in us-east-1 region. For all other regions, existing code works fine.

Another option to make it for all the regions could be to set the region_name at the time of creating s3_client object.
for e.g. s3_client = boto3.client('s3', region_name=region_name)

I am also seeing this on another KB module.
