aws.getRegion provides details about a specific AWS region.
As well as validating a given region name this resource can be used to discover the name of the region configured within the provider. The latter can be useful in a child module which is inheriting an AWS provider configuration from its parent module.
Example Usage
The following example shows how the resource might be used to obtain
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Aws = Pulumi.Aws;
return await Deployment.RunAsync(() =>
{
var current = Aws.GetRegion.Invoke();
});
package main

"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/sdk/v5/go/aws"
"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)
func main() {
pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
_, err := aws.GetRegion(ctx, nil, nil)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return nil

Using getRegion
Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.
function getRegion(args: GetRegionArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetRegionResult>
function getRegionOutput(args: GetRegionOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetRegionResult>def get_region(endpoint: Optional[str] = None,
name: Optional[str] = None,
opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetRegionResult
def get_region_output(endpoint: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetRegionResult]func GetRegion(ctx *Context, args *GetRegionArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*GetRegionResult, error)
func GetRegionOutput(ctx *Context, args *GetRegionOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) GetRegionResultOutput> Note: This function is named GetRegion in the Go SDK.
