Cross region rdsClient connection timing out

[dandrew-stripe]

I have a global database foo-global-db which has a single cluster that exists in ap-south-1 - foo-global-db-blah-blah-ap-south-1 - I am interested in calling DescribeDBClusters and ModifyDBCluster for foo-global-db-blah-blah-ap-south-1 from us-west-2

In us-west-2 I am doing the following

import (
  	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/rds"
)

....

cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.Background(), config.WithRegion("ap-south-1"))
if err != nil {
  // fail
}

rdsClient := rds.NewFromConfig(cfg)

output, err := rdsClient.DescribeDBClusters(ctx, &rds.DescribeDBClustersInput{
	DBClusterIdentifier: aws.String("foo-global-db-blah-blah-ap-south-1"),
})

if err != nil {
  // fail ----> this is failing with timeout
}

// also try to call rdsClient.ModifyDbCluster

Both of these calls fail with a timeout.

I am assuming there is something wrong with how I am setting up my rds client. Can someone help me understand what I might be doing wrong here?

Hi @dandrew-stripe ,

You can set WithRegion to the region you want to route your request to:

cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.Background(), config.WithRegion("us-west-2"))

However I'm not sure if what you are asking is possible. If the RDS resource only exists in ap-south-1 than you might hit a ResourceNotFoundException or something in that vein.

Both of these calls fail with a timeout.

What kind of timeout? What is the error that is thrown?
