I've a Spring Cloud Data Flow Server installed on my Local. while creating a stream from source(file) to AWS-S3 as sink, I get the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name     'org.springframework.cloud.aws.context.support.io.ResourceLoaderBeanPostProcessor#0': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'amazonS3' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is

nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: There is not EC2 meta data available, because the application is not running in the EC2 environment. Region detection is only possible if the application is running on a EC2 instance

Caused By:

What I observe is, that S3 can only be used as a sink if Spring Cloud Dataflow server is installed on AWS EC2.

Is there, any way, by which a Spring Cloud Data Flow Server installed on Local machine can be used to connect to AWS S3 bucket and use the same as sink
