Is there a reason you're using a region endpoint of "US East (N. Virginia)" instead of the standard us-east-1? The acceptable region values for V2.5.1 are documented at [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/tree/v2.5.1/#region](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/tree/v2.5.1/#region).
