S3 API supports getting the location for a bucket, which gives out one
of those geographic zones (US-WEST-1, EU for eg). Also it returns an
empty string for the default region.

Since LocationConstraint corresponds to regions in our case, this API
returns the region, for the "default" region empty string is returned
