i _believe_ this is a known issue, we don't actually read the backend config from the stack config, so you need to set `AWS_REGION`. I can't find the issue detailing it now, but <@UB3BGTV63> may know more

This one? <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/1170>

I believe it's actually related to <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/5152>

i used to put the bucket w/ region in the Pulumi.yaml to avoid having to login or set the region

something like
```backend:
  url: <s3://bucket/path?region=us-east-1>```
