[Bug] Failed to create index about canopy HOT 2 OPEN

I suspect Pinecone uses AWS for storage, and aws-west is not free. It seems that aws-east is.

This solved the error for me:

1. Find the config.yaml in canopy/config_templates/ (this may be in your virtual environment folder, depending on your setup)
2. Copy this file. Rename and store wherever it suits your project setup
3. Find region: us-west-2 and set the value to us-east-1
4. From the terminal, type export CANOPY_CONFIG_FILE="path/to/your/config.yaml". This adds your config file as an environment variable. Now when you do canopy new, canopy will detect the config file.

Root cause
I see the default spec in kb.create_canopy_index specifies "us-west-2":

class KnowledgeBase(BaseKnowledgeBase):
    def create_canopy_index(self,
                            spec: Union[Dict, ServerlessSpec, PodSpec] = None,
                            metric: Optional[str] = "cosine"
                            ):

        if spec is None:
            spec = ServerlessSpec(
                cloud="aws",
                region="us-west-2"
            )

@izellevy do you know why us-west was originally chosen? Would you accept a PR that wires this region to us-east-1? Happy to contribute.
