    As far as I can tell --region <region> should do the job. In most of the cases I use the region parameter as a part of my profile. If it doesn’t work in your case, check the environment variable.

    You can set the AWS_REGION environment variable so that the AWS CLI would use it in the subsequent calls:

    export AWS_REGION=us-east-1

    Then if you use

    aws lambda ...

    command it would be executed in that region.

    Alternatively, if you want this change to be persisted, you can change you ~/.aws/credentials file and set the region there.
