What does this mean? How can K8S be tied into something as specific as an AWS region?

It means the `kube-up` scripts now work with ap-northeast-2 straight out of the box.

Just set

    export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws
    export KUBE_AWS_ZONE=ap-northeast-2a
    kube-up.sh
Here's the PR https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/24464

Kubernetes can be installed from AMIs, which are region-specific.

In addition, different regions support different AWS features/products and being a newer region usually means the least amount of support. So any setup tooling or infrastructure integration needs to account for those differences and use alternatives if certain services aren't available.
