putting the access key, secretkey and region in the config also does not work

<@UHTP242EB> It looks like i’m also hit by <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/791> Did you ever find the reason?

with the env vars loaded it works, guess i’ll use those for now

Pulumi allows credentials (KUBECONFIG, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, etc) to be overridden by environment variables. From <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/cloud-providers/aws/setup/#environment-variables>, _"Although credentials are recommended, the SDK will **prefer** environment variables over any other settings"._ If you unset your AWS environment variables I would expect Pulumi to use the configured settings as described on the setup page.
