is there a programatic way to get the current aws provider’s (or any AWS provider’s) current region code? like

use1

or

usw2

?

The response to get_region... I'm wondering if

region.id

is the short form

it’s not, and I am not even sure if this information is available in the API enumeration anyway — even though AWS likes to use them all over their documentation. So it’s probably best to not rely on it and just use the full .name or .id (which ends up being the same value)

yeah fair enough... i hadn't seen those versions of the codes myself

they’re mainly used for Availability Zone IDs
