context.default-region is no longer supported. But docs still states it is a possible option.

I’m getting this error

The 'context.default-region' key was found in /Users/seanyu/Zap/test-cdk-static/cdk.json, but it is no longer supported. Please remove it.

when i run cdk deploy when my cdk.json have default-region

{
  "app": "node dist/cdk/index",
  "context": {
    "default-region": "ap-southeast-1",
  }
}

but it states in the docs https://docs.aws.amazon.com/CDK/latest/userguide/awscdk.pdf Environment and Aunthentication section that it still supports it.

Done. The change will be visible when I rebuild the docs. I’ll post a link to the new docs when I’m done.

No. We recommend you specify your region directly in the code. If you want to deploy the same stack to multiple regions, instantiate all of them and give each of them a different region.
