[jira] [Commented] (AIRFLOW-5280) aws_default's region_name defaults to us-east-1 which causes major confusion for connections that do not use this region

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-5280?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16940760#comment-16940760 ]

[AIRFLOW-5280] conn: Remove aws_default's default region name (#5879)

The `aws_default` by default specifies the `region_name` to be
`us-east-1` in its `extra` field. This causes trouble when the desired
AWS account uses a different region as this default value has priority
over the $AWS_REGION and $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variables,
gets passed directly to `botocore` and does not seem to be documented.

This commit removes the default region name from the `aws_default`'s
extra field. This means that it will have to be set manually, which
would follow the "explicit is better than implicit" philosophy.

> It seems that the best way of dealing with this situation would be to remove this default variable. The result of this would be that all aws_default connection parameters would have to manually define it which seems to be consistent with "explicit better than implicit" philosophy.
