Which is the default region "aws s3" connects by default from EC2?

0

We were trying to setup an GatewayEndpoint for S3 in eu-central-1.

After setting up the endpoint, route and security groups, the command "aws s3 ls" failed, but "aws s3 ls --region eu-central-1" was successful.

Why is that? To which region is the request sent by default if not specifying the region explicitly?

The default region depends on the value set for the environment variable AWS_DEFAULT_REGION or the value set at the time when aws configure was used to add the access key and the secret key.
