And when you get to https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-workshop-for-kubernetes/tree/master/01-path-basics/102-your-first-cluster#create-the-worker-nodes creating that CloudFormation stack from the Cloud9 environment will fail.

The lab-ide-build.sh sets the value of AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, which is the preferred environment variable for aws-cli. Is there a specific need for AWS_REGION to be set?

aws-workshop-for-kubernetes/01-path-basics/101-start-here/scripts/lab-ide-build.sh

Lines 34 to 36 in dac8e1f

# Configure AWS CLI
availability_zone=$(curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone)
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=${availability_zone%?}

Saw this today too when running the workshop. One person (out of ~50) had this issue, and the awscli didn't have a region set. Setting one with aws configure resolved.

Add a note about setting the region via 'aws configure' if necessary.
