AWS: Convert String to Region

Question

I do not want to hardcode region id and pass region name as String from command line. Is there a way to do that? Hardcoding:

Region s3Region = Region.getRegion(Regions.US_EAST_1); 
Non Hardcoded but not working:
Region s3Region = Region.getRegion(Regions.fromName(awsRegion));

Answer 1

Answering the question that I think you mean to ask:

If you have an Amazon region name like, for example, "us-east-1" then you can easily convert it to a RegionEndpoint:

RegionEndpoint endpoint = Amazon.RegionEndpoint.GetBySystemName("us-east-1");

Answer 2

May its very late to reply but Regions.valueOf(awsRegion) should help! So full code should be :

Region s3Region = Region.getRegion(Regions.valueOf(awsRegion.toUpperCase()));

Hope this helps.
