What does this PR do?
This PR adds support to fetch the AWS region name from the ~/.aws/config file and use the environment variable as a fallback if the aws config is absent. It defaults to us-east-1 in case both of them are not present. It leverages boto3 which is already present in requirements. So no changes to requirements are required.

This is almost what we want! Ideally we'd want to set aws_region in order of specificity:

  1. specific region passed as argument
  2. specific region passed as environment variable
  3. specific region within config
  4. default to us-east-1

however, as written in this PR, this would be:

  1. specific region within config
  2. specific region passed as argument
  3. specific region passed as environment variable
  4. default to us-east-1

if you could correct the ordering of assignment, that would be wonderful.
