The documentation examples all seem to point to AWS_DEFAULT_REGION as the preferred environment variable to export for configuring a region. The code appears to now support AWS_REGION. Do the examples need updating?

Nevermind, I was looking at the results of a code-search and didn't look at the context. It appears the CLI only looks for the ENV['AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'].

I always Google this, and this always comes up, and this is the link I'm really looking for:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html#cli-environment

Yeah, why would you keep URLs of widely used documentation stable :(

amazonka: Lookup AWS_DEFAULT_REGION before AWS_REGION
246c0b5 
According to aws/aws-cli#735 , AWS_REGION
isn't really honoured any more by other AWS tools. Continue honouring
it for backwards compatibility, but favour AWS_DEFAULT_REGION if set.
