<@UJBNC99MF> we recently removed the `aws:profile` config variable because it was causing more trouble for shared stacks than value:
<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/pull/1909>

long story short, you'll need to use the env var now

Hmm…that’s a shame, because allowing the profile to be stored as part of the stack makes it easy for me to “port” a stack among/between multiple AWS accounts with different profiles. However, given that we are working with full-featured programming languages here, I can see a path forward (based on the comment in the PR) to pull from _either_ the config value _or_ the environment variable.
