AWS boto3 : ClientError when calling run_instances with AMI ID

ec2_resource = boto3.resource('ec2')
ec2_resource.create_instances(ImageId=MEGATRON_SCRAPER_AMI_ID, MinCount=1, MaxCount=2)

This throws a ClientError as below -

ClientError: An error occurred (Unsupported) when calling the 
RunInstances operation: The requested configuration is currently not 
supported. Please check the documentation for supported configurations.

Concerned AWS Region is Mumbai

So the EC2 Boto3 Documentation is not either updated or has some other caveat attached.

Well, the documentation here is pretty comprehensive and it turns out that I was actually missing an InstanceType argument while calling create_instances

So the ideal way would be:

ec2_resource = boto3.resource('ec2')
ec2_resource.create_instances(ImageId=MEGATRON_SCRAPER_AMI_ID, MinCount=1, MaxCount=1, InstanceType='t2.micro')

Also, before doing this, see if the credentials and config files in ~/.aws/ have proper values of secret keys, default region etc.
