aws: errors with context

When faced with errors from cloud providers (like "Throttling: Rate exceeded"), it's not always easy to find what operation caused the failure, and what action was aborted, if any,

Let's make it easier to identify an error source (and affected object when possible) by providing more context (and by using easy to find error messages).
