Tip: Let Bedrock Read AWS Region From ~/.aws Instead of Hardcoding AWS_REGION

Claude Code Docs·low signal

As of v2.1.172, when AWS_REGION isn't set, Claude Code's Amazon Bedrock integration reads the region from your ~/.aws config files, matching AWS SDK precedence, and /status shows where the region was resolved from. For builders running Claude Code against Bedrock across multiple profiles, this removes a class of misconfiguration — drop the explicit env var and rely on your existing AWS profile config.
