Answer 1

Problem most likely caused by corporate proxy. In my case I was running the commands on AWS CLI behind proxy server and was getting certificate error. So to get around this I added --no-verify-ssl flag. Though this is a bad idea, I used this as a temporary solution to get the job done until it is resolved by the network team.
