How to change AWS SDK region in code?

Question

It is necessary to define

<add key="AWSRegion" value="us-east-1"/>

application setting in App.config to specify region to use.

I need to change that programmatically

var creds = new BasicAWSCredentials(key, token);
using (var routes = AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonRoute53Client(creds)){}

how to specify the region in code?

It is the best practice to use more configurable version (i.e. endpoint configured from web.config/app.config). For EC2 client, you can do it by the following way:

var region = RegionEndpoint.GetBySystemName("ap-northeast-1"); 
var awsEC2Client = new AmazonEC2Client(region);

For others reason, you can specify from here
