if (!$Region) { $AuthRegion = 'us-chicago-1' } else { $AuthRegion = $Region $InstanceRegion = $Region }

This code checks whether the variable $Region has a "falsy" value or not (e.g., null, false, 0, an empty string, etc.) using the ! (NOT) operator. Here's what it does in detail:

  1. If the value of $Region is falsy (e.g., $Region is not set or is empty/null):

    • The variable $AuthRegion is assigned the value 'us-chicago-1'.
  2. If the value of $Region is truthy (e.g., $Region is set to a valid value):

    • The variable $AuthRegion is assigned the value of $Region.
    • The variable $InstanceRegion is also assigned the value of $Region.

Summary of Functionality:

This code sets default regional values:

  • If $Region is not provided or is null/empty, $AuthRegion is set to 'us-chicago-1'.
  • If $Region has a valid value, both $AuthRegion and $InstanceRegion are set to that value.

This is often used for configuring default and custom regions in applications.
