The provider you create is not specifying credentials You should provide these otherwise you will have to figure where the AWS code is getting them from It s best to be explicit

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You can explicitly pass in a profile name access and secret key or whatever works for you That will make tracking problems down much easier

is there a way to get the profile name from pulumi config Background I have 2 stacks prod and dev They use different aws cli profiles and they are defined in respective yaml files ``` Pulumi dev yaml config aws profile dev Pulumi prod yaml config aws profile prod``` to make the above provider work I need to pass the profile name but I can t hardcode it in the typescript code It has to work some thing like ```const awsUsEast1 = new aws Provider aws us east 1 region us east 1 profile pulumi currentProfile ``` is there such way to get the current aws profile from the current pulumi config

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

The Config class takes a parameter which would be the aws part So you could do this ```const awsUsEast1 = new aws Provider aws us east 1 region us east 1 profile new pulumi Config aws require profile ```
