The only way I know how to switch regions using the EB CLI is eb init. This feels like a hack because in addition to selection my region, I have to re-answer a bunch of questions I've already answered.

Is there a way to just switch regions on the EB CLI without going through all the eb init steps?

Yes. When you run eb init it should only ask you for the things it doesn't know. Running it a second time should do nothing. Therefore I am presuming you are running eb init -i which forces all the questions. You can simply use eb init --region us-east-1 to switch. It shouldn't ask you any questions.

  • Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. Just a small correction: it needs to be us-east-1 as opposed to us-east1.

When you run eb init, the EB CLI will generate .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml file inside working directory. The file format is something like:

branch-defaults:
  default:
    environment: Sample-Env
global:
  application_name: Example App
  default_ec2_keyname: SecretSSH-Key
  default_platform: 64bit Amazon Linux 2015.03 v2.0.0 running Docker 1.6.2
  default_region: us-east-1
  profile: null
  sc: null

You can modify default_region to another valid region.
