Spring Cloud AWS SQS fails to connect to service endpoint locally

I have received below errors when running Spring Boot Project for AWS SNS

i.InstanceMetadataServiceResourceFetcher : Fail to retrieve token
com.amazonaws.util.EC2MetadataUtils      : Unable to retrieve the requested metadata (/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document). Failed to connect to service endpoint:

Add below code snippet to SpringBootApplication & Click on Run Button in the IDE

@SpringBootApplication(
        exclude = {
                org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextInstanceDataAutoConfiguration.class,
                org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextStackAutoConfiguration.class,
                org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextRegionProviderAutoConfiguration.class
        }
)

I know many people have already explained what’s issue and how to skip this error. But, all the above method didn’t work for me. Finally after lot of search I set following aws configuration property and it worked for me.

cloud.aws.region.use-default-aws-region-chain=true
cloud.aws.stack.auto=false
cloud.aws.credentials.access-key=
cloud.aws.credentials.secret-key=
cloud.aws.region.auto=false
cloud.aws.region.static=
cloud.aws.stack=false

When using the AWS Java SDK outside of an EC2 instance, you can disable loading credentials or regions from EC2 Metadata instance service with a System property or an Environment variable.

• System Property : com.amazonaws.sdk.disableEc2Metadata
• Environment variable : AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED

However, you will still get a warning at application startup, it tells you the EC2Metadata is disabled by configuration : “EC2 Instance Metadata Service is disabled”

Fix the problem adding in the application.yaml file:

logging:
  level:
    com:
      amazonaws:
        util:
          EC2MetadataUtils: error
