Using env vars or depending on the pulumi config isn’t viable because a user may be using an explicitly created provider in their code

yep, understood I know I asked a similar question earlier this week and wanted to save you from searching if it were to help

You can use

aws.getCallerIdentity

to get the Account ID and the ARN and user id. That may be enough to infer these things. It's the ultimate identity that is actually being used, but doesn't have all the details of how that identity was determined. Alternatively,

aws.config.profile

should give you the profile that was configured as input.

@white-balloon-205 I’m looking for the configured value, we need it to create an ouput that includes the AWS profile name as an arg for a cli utility. Unfortunately

aws.config

doesn’t work in the below example, profile comes up as undefined.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

class Test extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
  readonly bucket: aws.s3.Bucket

  constructor(opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
    super('test', 'test', opts)

    console.log(aws.config.profile)

    this.bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket('test')
  }
  
}

// Create an AWS resource (S3 Bucket)

const provider = new aws.Provider('test', { profile: 'stage'})
const bucket = new Test({provider: provider})

Ahh - yes - I believe

pulumi.config

only works for the default provider configuration - there is not currently a way to get the equivalent for a

new aws.Provider

instance. Pretty sure there is an issue tracking adding the ability to retrieve this.
