AWS SES Template type unrecognized

Serverless Framework
1

I’m trying to add an AWS SES template to my serverless resources, but I keep getting “unrecognized type” for AWS::SES::Template.
This is definitely a defined CloudFormation resource type, so I don’t know what’s going on. Any ideas?

resources:
  Resources:
    EmailNotificationTemplate:
      Type: AWS::SES::Template
      Properties:
        Template:
          TemplateName: "test"
          TextPart: "body text"
          SubjectPart: "subject"

Turns out this was due to SES not being available in the region I was using. It sure would’ve been nice with a error message such as “type not supported in region”, but instead the generic “unrecognized type” was raised.
