Hi @mwesox,
try to find this dependency into your pom hierarchy: spring-cloud-aws-autoconfigure. If it is there, exclude that dependency, then if it is needed, create a new client for SQS, SNS, etc... using a proper AwsRegionProvider. Then try it again.

Another workaround is to add the needed web dependency:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
 </dependency>

And then disable the web-application in the properties if you don't need it.
spring.main.web-application-type=NONE
