             Summary: [aws][connectors] Kinesis connector doesn't work for new AWS regions
                 Key: FLINK-28978
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-28978
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Connectors / Kinesis
    Affects Versions: 1.15.1, 1.14.5, 1.13.6
            Reporter: Hong Liang Teoh
             Fix For: 1.16.0, 1.13.7, 1.15.2, 1.14.6


The current validation in the Kinesis connector checks that the AWS Region string specified is present in the `Regions` enum attached in the `AWS SDK`. This is not desirable because every time AWS launches a new region, we will have to update the AWS SDK shaded into the connector. 

We want to change it such that we validate the shape of the string, allowing for future AWS Regions. 

 

Current list of regions:

ap-south-1, eu-south-1, us-gov-east-1, ca-central-1, eu-central-1, us-west-1, us-west-2, af-south-1, eu-north-1, eu-west-3, eu-west-2, eu-west-1, ap-northeast-3, ap-northeast-2, ap-northeast-1, me-south-1, sa-east-1, ap-east-1, cn-north-1, us-gov-west-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, ap-southeast-3, us-iso-east-1, us-east-1, us-east-2, cn-northwest-1, us-isob-east-1, aws-global, aws-cn-global, aws-us-gov-global, aws-iso-global, aws-iso-b-global
