Research direction

Start by running the unit-test suite without an AWS region configured locally, then trace the boto region lookup used by the failing tests. The work is done when the unit tests run and pass without requiring a region or other local AWS configuration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement p2

If aws default regions is not set in the CLI (in any of the locations boto looks for) the unit tests will fail.

We should make the unit tests stand alone and not require anything to be set locally.
