Answer 1

Alternatively you can run the following (aws cli)

aws configure --profile $PROFILE_NAME

it'll prompt you for the region.

notice in ~/.aws/config it's:

[default]
region = ap-southeast-1
output = json

[profile prod]
region = ap-southeast-1
output = json

[profile profile name] in the square brackets
