cdk deploy fails due to stack using assets

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.
