I submit this on command line (i'm omitting all the other params that i know to work)
aws cloudformation create-stack ... --parameters ParameterKey=Region,ParameterValue=us-east-1
It yields:
Unable to construct an endpoint for cloudformation in regionNone
If i submit the same exact params using the https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation web ui, it works.
How do i specify region using the aws.exe for windows ? The .json file i use as a template even has it as the default, but it still does not take it if i omit region from the command line
"Region": { "Type": "String", "Description": "Which Region to launch in", "Default": "us-east-1", "AllowedValues": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1", "us-west-2", "eu-west-1", "ap-northeast-1" ] }
in debug mode i get...

You can select the AMI ID that your stack uses by using an input parameter ( EnvironmentType ). To determine the region, use the AWS::Region pseudo parameter, which gets the AWS Region in which you create the stack.
Sign in to the AWS Management Console . Choose a service to go to that service's console. In the navigation bar, choose the name of the currently displayed Region. Then choose the Region to which you want to switch.
aws configure get region will get you the current region at that point in your script. If you are using a profile, then type aws configure get region --profile $PROFILE_NAME . This will return the region of the configuration, not the region that your aws cli invocation was performed from.
AWS CloudFormation Supports Multiple Account and Region Provisioning with StackSet. AWS CloudFormation has launched a new feature called StackSet that lets you provision a common set of AWS resources across multiple accounts and regions with a single CloudFormation template.
The region is an argument of the aws command :
aws --region eu-west-1 cloudformation create-stack --stack-name ...

You can also configure it using aws configure or if already executed you can identify it in ~/.aws/config. Example:
[default]
region=us-east-1
The regions are as follows. See second column.
$ ec2-describe-regions
REGION eu-central-1 ec2.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
REGION sa-east-1 ec2.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com
REGION ap-northeast-1 ec2.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com
REGION eu-west-1 ec2.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
REGION us-east-1 ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
REGION us-west-1 ec2.us-west-1.amazonaws.com
REGION us-west-2 ec2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
REGION ap-southeast-2 ec2.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com
