You can set credentials via environment variables, would also be nice to set region.

+1 - was going to do a pull request for this but wasn't sure what variable name would be preferred. I've seen some third party projects use AWS_EC2_REGION, but I realize you may want a non-service specific nomenclature.

flippath/ec2-cli-tools - AWS_EC2_REGION

netflix/asgard - EC2_REGION

IMO the region setting should not be service specific. I could see how this might be useful in the above mentioned projects, but It makes less sense in a CLI tool where you're only targeting one service per execution.

I would go with a simple AWS_REGION

This feature is now available in the 0.4.5 release and in the develop branch. The name of the variable is AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
