EC2ResponseError: 401 Unauthorized using Saltstack boto_vpc module

Question

I'm trying to create a vpc using Saltstack and boto_vpc module. This is my state:

vpc_create:
      module.run:
        - name: boto_vpc.create
        - cidr_block: '10.0.0.0/24'
        - vpc_name: 'myVpc'
        - region: 'us-east-1'
        - key: 'ADJJDNEJFJGNFKFKFKIW'
        - keyid: 'SJDJNFNEJUWLLLCLCLENNRBFLGSLSLKEMFUHE'

The keys that I'm using are correct but I got this error:

[INFO    ] Running state [boto_vpc.create] at time 14:25:35.839797

I tried with aws ec2 create-vpc --cidr-block 10.0.0.0/16 and works fine!

Answer 1

From reading the salt reference, it looks like keyid represents the access key and key represents the secret key. Have you accidentally transposed them?
