I have a couple of named profiles and it works. Specifically `AWS_PROFILE=test pulumi up` works

Ah, thanks. Yes, that works. I forgot to mention I exported `AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE`, then ran `pulumi update` unadorned. That didn’t work.

Yes, your suggestion worked. Thank you! Still have a question about using  `AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE`, which doesn’t work. Might not be implemented.

I _believe_ we ultimately rely on the underlying aws-sdk-go library for this. So if it's supported there, I think it should work in Pulumi. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the never-ending list of ways that AWS does auth, hehe.

Thanks <@UDEJ1F5SQ>. I’ll read that code and see what’s what.

<@UFK7C27QW> you can also add them via `pulumi config set`, and they vary by stack.

```pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1
pulumi config set aws:profile someprofile.role```

Good idea. The only thing I’m using that for right now is specify a region.
