SC-55556
While the S3 VFS' default AWS region is always
us-east-1
, the AWS SDK uses a sequence of multiple sources to determine the default region. This PR lets the AWS SDK pick a region if the user has not chosen one with thevfs.s3.region
option, improving the experience when on regions other thanus-east-1
.This was implemented by updating the default value of
vfs.s3.region
to empty. There is already logic to keep using the AWS SDK's default if the config option is empty.TYPE: CONFIG
DESC: The default value of
vfs.s3.region
was changed to empty, which will let the AWS pick the default region from sources such as environment variables, profile configuration, and instance metadata.
