cdk deploy fails due to stack using assets

[marius-turtle]

Following along the README I tried to deploy the template to an AWS-account after using

cdk bootstrap aws://my_id/us_east_2

which ended up in

 ⏳  Bootstrapping environment aws://my_id/us-east-2...
 ✅  Environment aws://my_id/us-east-2 bootstrapped (no changes).

but the cdk deploy ended up like this

❯ cdk deploy 
 ❌  lambdaapp failed: Error: This stack uses assets, so the toolkit stack must be deployed to the environment (Run "cdk bootstrap aws://unknown-account/unknown-region")

Is that due to a wrong region that was chosen? The AWS Account ID I took from the My Security Credentials section in the AWS Management Console.

Hi Marius,
You can verify on S3 if a bucket in the given region was created. Are you sure that AWS CLI works fine? E.g. aws s3 ls returns a list of bucket in your account?
