More Direction for New Users

[jamesward]

Being new to AWS tooling, I am not sure what to do when I run rain info and get:

a region was not specified. You can run 'aws configure' or choose a profile with a region

It seems I need to create a config file or setup an AWS CLI or something. Could there be a bit more help in this situation? Could it prompt me for the region? Help me login? Etc?

A follow-up suggestion here: Rain absolutely can run without the user being logged in (as that's how it used to work). It would be more helpful to allow rain to do what it can offline and then hint to the user that capabilities X, Y, and Z are available if they have a valid AWS credential session.
