cgcloud register-key doesn't work with region us-east

[kkdang]

When setting up cgcloud to run in AWS us-east-1 region, it doesn't work:

$ cgcloud register-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -z us-east-1b

INFO: Using zone 'us-east-1b' and namespace '/toilUser/'
Traceback (most recent call last):

But the same command works fine with us-west:

$ cgcloud register-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -z us-west-2a

INFO: Using zone 'us-west-2a' and namespace '/toilUser/'

I wonder if this is related to boto/boto3#125 noted already in boto where the region for S3 is really "US Standard" but the region for other aspects of AWS, such as EC2, is us-east-1a, etc.

Thank you for the bug report. Interestingly, even without the fix from b4756be, you should now be able to register the key in us-east-1 since the bucket has now been created when you tried it in us-west-2.

Yes, that worked. Thanks for the quick reply!
