Add a method to map AWSS3BucketLocationConstraint to AWSRegionType

[simonmaddox]

Right now, I have to write my own massive switch statement to convert between these enum values. I can't simply cast between them because they're in different orders, which will give "EU West 1" a different value depending on if its a AWSRegionType or a AWSS3BucketLocationConstraint.

I'd like a method, provided by Amazon, that converts these for me. Whenever you add a new region, not only do I have to update the SDK I also have to remember to add the new values to my switch statement.

There's also no clear mapping between AWSS3BucketLocationConstraintEU, for example, and a AWSRegionType - should there be? These can be solved very easily by Amazon providing the method to do this.

Thanks for reporting this @simonmaddox I will take this as a request to the team. I will update the thread here once we have support for this feature. The constraints are different from the region and agreed that the method will be more useful.

Thanks,
Rohan

+1, this is indeed useful.
Also, is there a way to map between a AWSRegionType and the actual string identifier for that region?

Thanks for opening this feature request. We have no plans to add a new API for mapping between AWSRegionType and AWSS3BucketLocationConstraint at this time.
