Hello, regarding this, the region string for S3 buckets must be valid. Though not a requirement, some customers choose to place their Amazon S3 buckets in the same region as their Amazon Forecast workload. Please consider the region list in the link below...and pair the bucket with the Amazon Forecast region accordingly. Also feel free to choose a different valid S3 region, if your situation requires it. Please let us know the outcome. Thank you.
