AWS - CLI

You want to run an AWS CLI command that uses the prod profile but also specify the region us-west-2 without changing your default region. Which command correctly does this?

Aaws --profile prod --region us-west-2 s3 ls

Baws s3 ls --region us-west-2 --profile prod

Caws s3 ls --profile prod region us-west-2

Daws s3 ls prod --region us-west-2

Final Answer:
aws --profile prod --region us-west-2 s3 ls -> Option A
