Configuration options
Many configuration settings can be handled outside of your code. Most configuration settings can be set as either environment
variables or in a separate shared AWS config file. The shared config file can maintain separate sets of settings, called profiles, to provide
different configurations for different environments or tests.
Environment variables and shared config file settings are standardized and shared across AWS SDKs and tools to support consistent
functionality across different languages.
See the AWS SDKs and Tools Reference Guide to learn about configuring your application through these methods, plus details on each cross-sdk setting. Some pages of interest might be:
