I have a function that is calling an AWS service to get some data that needs to be configured in my serverless.yml file.  
Using Reference Variables in Javascript Files([link](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/variables/)), I am able to do that but I need access to my current region in order to call the service.  
Is there any way to get region inside the function?

I have a javascript file called myData.js which is referenced like this in my serverless.yml

```auto
functions:
  sourceLambda:
    handler: ./src/sourceLambda
    events: ${file(./myData.js)}

```

myData.js

```auto
module.exports = async ({options, resolveConfigurationProperty}) => {
// can we access region here
// the serverless parameters coming to this functions are empty
}

```
