Configuring region in Node.js AWS SDK

Question

Can someone explain how to fix a missing config error with Node.js? I\'ve followed all the examples from the aws doc page but I still get this error no matter what.

To the comment above, you can always it run from your local global config file ~./aws/config by adding the following:

process.env.AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG="true";

This will load your local global config file and use whatever credentials/account you are in which is really handy when iterating through multiple accounts / roles.
