The EC2 plugin is currently throwing the following error while trying to launch a build slave:

The AWS API docs specify EC2 hostnames like the following:
...
ec2.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
...
So, the "ec2" and "eu-central-1" portions are flipped. I recommend that the API endpoints are updated to use the hostnames that are currently outlined in the API docs.
