Yes, `aws:profile` is for configuring the default AWS provider. Backends are created before Pulumi starts. Different configuration is used.

Afaik, the only way to configure the AWS backend is via "normal" AWS configuration: env vars, ~/.aws/credentials, etc.

Hi, I have had the same experience, for the moment I’m using envrc to set up thr AWS_PROFILE but for CI/CD I will try to create an aws provider

AWS providers do not affect the backend at all.
