For the assume a role as part of an AWS profile suggestion once you ve set up an AWS profile in your ~ aws credentials file you can set up another one in your ~ aws config file that has the `source profile` and `role arn` properties Then tell Pulumi to use that profile by setting your AWS PROFILE environment variable
