+ ### Region resolution
1831
+
1832
+ The CDK CLI determines which AWS region to use with the following priority order (highest first):
1833
+
1834
+ 1. `--region` flag (or `region` in `cdk.json`)
1835
+ 2. `AWS_REGION` / `AMAZON_REGION` environment variable
1836
+ 3. `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` / `AMAZON_DEFAULT_REGION` environment variable
1837
+ 4. Region from the shared INI files (`~/.aws/credentials` then `~/.aws/config`) for the active profile
1838
+ 5. Region from the `[default]` profile in the shared INI files
1839
+ 6. EC2 instance metadata (IMDS)
1840
+ 7. `us-east-1`
1841
+
1842
+ When `--profile` is specified, the region configured in that profile is used (step 4). When `--region` is also specified, it takes priority over everything else including environment variables and the profile's own region setting. This is consistent with how the AWS CLI handles `--region`, and is useful for non-commercial partitions where the default `us-east-1` fallback would fail because credentials are partition-specific.
