Implements support for standard AWS environment variables: - AWS_PROFILE for specifying AWS profile - AWS_REGION and AWS_DEFAULT_REGION for specifying region This addresses GitHub issues: - aws#278: AWS Profiles – support for standard environment variables - aws#166: Support setting region as env var and/or mount option Changes: - Modified get_aws_profile() to check AWS_PROFILE environment variable - Modified get_target_region() to check AWS_REGION and AWS_DEFAULT_REGION - Added comprehensive test coverage for environment variable functionality - Updated README with documentation and examples - Maintains backward compatibility with existing behavior The implementation follows standard AWS CLI precedence: 1. Mount options take highest precedence 2. Environment variables are checked next 3. Config files and instance metadata are fallbacks This improves usability in containerized environments, CI/CD pipelines, and other automated deployment scenarios.
