> Key: AIRFLOW-5280
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-5280
> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: aws
> Affects Versions: 1.10.4
> Reporter: Marek Suppa
> Assignee: Marek Suppa
> Priority: Minor
>
> The `aws_default` by default specifies the `region_name` to be
> `us-east-1` in its `extra` field. This causes trouble when the desired
> AWS account uses a different region as this default value has priority
> over the $AWS_REGION and $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variables,
> gets passed directly to `botocore` and does not seem to be documented.
> It seems that the best way of dealing with this situation would be to remove
> this default variable. The result of this would be that all aws_default
> connection parameters would have to manually define it which seems to be
> consistent with "explicit better than implicit" philosophy.
