CentOS non-marketplace image AuthFailure

0.README.md

This was what I got for trying to run non-marketplace image per https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS:

| CentOS Linux 7 | 1801_01 | 2018-Jan-14 | us-east-1 | ami-4bf3d731 | x86_64 | HVM |

Note that "aws_access_key": null, and "aws_secret_key": null, are not the problem. They're not passed explicitly as module params but the module finds them in ~/.aws/credentials, and this worked later for a marketplace image.
