  with:
    provider: aws # default is linode
    region: 'eu-central-1'
    access_key: ${{ secrets.S3_ACCESS_KEY }}
    secret_key: ${{ secrets.S3_SECRET_KEY }}

    s3cmd sync --recursive --acl-public dist s3://awesome.blog
    s3cmd info s3://awesome.blog

The region only matters when creating a new bucket with mb. In that case a different region apart from the default region can be provided ad hoc.

s3cmd mb --region ap-south-1 s:·//my-bucket

For linode object storage this wont work though. The region must always be set to US. If you want to change the region on the fly you can still do ith with the below command.

s3cmd mb --host ap-south-1.linodeobjects.com  s3://my-bucket
