The test test_compressed_request.py::test_compressed_request coerces boto3 to send a compressed request, and wrongly used region_name=us-east-1 to set up the connection. Theoretically, this doesn't matter because we also set the correct URL (for either Alternator or the desired region in AWS). But in fact it does matter, because region name is part of the request's signature, and DynamoDB refuses the request if it comes to a different region than it is signed for. So this test fails when run on DynamoDB on any other region except us-east-1. The fix is simple - don't use the constant "us-east-1", but pick up the correct region name from the original connection. The functions new_dynamodb_session(), new_dynamodb() and new_dynamodb_stremas() had the same bug and we fix it too, but it didn't break any test because the only tests using these functions were Scylla-only so the AWS region problem didn't apply to them.
Scylla in-source tests.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
