@mxmzb it would depend on your specific setup. The AWS SDK (in the language of your choice) should at least specify the same region as the configured Docker container.

If you are relying on profiles in your ~/.aws/credentials file, then the region for the selected profile would need to match.

I was unable to see tables created by different scripts until I enabled sharedDb mode.

Note the command property...
