Why am I geting "Disk validation failed [Invalid S3 source location]" while doing "aws ec2 import-image"?

I am trying to import a VM to ec2. My containers.json file

[
 {
   "Description": "Cloudera task",
   "Format": "ova",
   "UserBucket": {
    "S3Bucket": "cdh-5.5.0.0-sandbox",
    "S3Key": "cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.5.0-0-virtualbox.ova"
    }
 }
]

And my command is :

aws ec2 import-image --description "Cloudera Sandbox" --disk-containers file://containers-cdh.json

However, my import task is failing with

"StatusMessage": "ClientError: Disk validation failed [Invalid S3 source location]"

Are you sure the bucket name is correct? Does the bucket exist? Can you run the CLI command aws s3 ls s3://cdh-5.5.0.0-sandbox ? It will give you a clue.

Invalid S3 source location

The command syntax or Amazon S3 bucket name is incorrect.

Resolution

Create a new Amazon S3 bucket in the appropriate region solely for VM Import and upload the VM files to the root of the bucket.

This error can be due to the invalid s3 bucket name. s3 bucket names should not have hyphens.
