You can set these in a couple of ways.

Firstly, by creating a file at ~/.aws/config (or ~/.aws/credentials).

For example:

[default]
aws_access_key_id=foo
aws_secret_access_key=bar
region=us-west-2

Secondly, you can add environment variables for each of your settings.

For example, create the following environment variables:

AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Thirdly, you can pass region in as a command line argument. For example:

aws eb deploy --region us-west-2

You won't need to run aws configure in these cases as the cli is configured.

There is further AWS documentation on this page.
