Anyone else having this issue, this is due to region no longer being an argument of the s3 bucket resource.

@Edwin-Pau - Yup, seems like the last it was allowed as an argument was in Terraform AWS provider version 2.70.0.

There are 2 ways to go about it:

• Remove the _region_ argument from aws_s3_bucket terraform resource code. In which case, it will inherit the region specified in the provider's declaration. (Ideal)
  _OR_
• Hardcode your aws provider declaration to version 2.70.0. (I wouldn't recommend this, as you may end up locking yourself to a particular version of aws provider).
