Hi Paul,

AWS added a native way to see the regional status to the ec2 api. “aws ec2 describe-regions” returns the “OptInStatus”.
See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ec2/describe-regions.html

Kind regards,
Ben

Looks like this workaround appears to have broken since upgrading botocore to anything higher than version 1.13.1 when your using Assume Role not Access/Secret keys
