How do I set up an AWS account's location configuration?

To set up an AWS account’s location configuration using infrastructure as code, we’ll define the configuration of a sample AWS resource in a specific region. We’ll include an S3 bucket in this example to showcase how we declare the region and resource properties.

In the code example below, we’ll:

1. Specify the provider (AWS) and set the desired region.
2. Create an S3 bucket as a sample resource in the specified region.
3. Export the bucket’s name as a stack output, so it can be easily referenced later.

This workflow demonstrates how setting the location (region) for AWS resources is done programmatically.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an S3 bucket
const exampleBucket = new aws.s3.BucketV2("example_bucket", {
    bucket: "my-example-bucket-202310",
    tags: {
        Name: "My Example Bucket",
        Environment: "Dev",
    },
});
export const bucketName = exampleBucket.bucket;

In this code, we start by configuring the AWS provider and specifying us-west-2 as the region where resources will be created. Then, we define an S3 bucket named my-example-bucket-202310 which includes tags for identification. Finally, we export the bucket’s name using the output block.

This example highlights how to define the location for AWS resources and how to create and manage an S3 bucket programmatically.
