Why isn't my aws cli default region name configuration saving?

Question

When I run aws configure and am prompted to enter the Default region name, I input us-east-2 - but it never seems to save that configuration. This feels simple enough, but am I missing something here?

Answer 1

I found there are 2 files in my ~/.aws/ folder, both of them got a region setting in there.

• config
• credentials

And I modified the region in the credentials file, then it works to me.
