Using aws cli, what is best way to determine the current region.

Question

Interactively, I can use "aws configure" to change or see the default region. Is there a "pwd" like function, documented or not that allows me to determine or confirm the current region mid-script? Even if AWS_DEFAULT_REGION is not defined? I want a script to run under a number of profiles. I can scrape from aws configure list, but is there something neater?

Answer 1

aws configure get region will get you the current region at that point in your script.

If you are using a profile, then type aws configure get --profile $PROFILE_NAME
