Unable to launch spark cluster on aws using spark-ec2 script -"AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials"

I have tried both the commands below and did set the env variables prior to launch of the scripts, but I am hit with "AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials" error. I don't think there is an issue with keys. I would appreciate any sort help to fix this. I am on ubuntu t2.micro instance. Regards, Mohan
