I'm in the process of migrating a company's infrastructure from the eu-west-1 region to af-south-1. While checking, I noticed that some resources, particularly certain EC2 instance types, are not available in af-south-1, but that's not my biggest headache. The main problem I have is that my codepipeline isn't triggering from Bitbucket. I keep getting this error: `InvalidActionDeclarationException: ActionType (Category: 'Source', Provider: 'CodeStarSourceConnection', Owner: 'AWS', Version: '1') in action 'Source' is not available in region 'AF_SOUTH_1'`. Interestingly, CodeBuild works just fine with Bitbucket. How can I effectively motivate AWS to add this feature for the af-south-1 region?

Why not consider setting up a cross-region pipeline? While there are reasons you might not want to, often it’s a feasible option. It can function smoothly if you're using it for deployments rather than runtime. It's worth discussing with your TAM as well; they may confirm if any additional regions are in the works in the future for this service.
Cross-region does sound like a possibility, but I was trying to keep everything consistent by moving away from eu-west-1. I'm coding a serverless endpoint that will act as a webhook for Bitbucket, so I can manage the repo and deploy to S3 for the CodePipeline.
