How to change the default profile variable in aws cli?












1















I try to use aws cli with docker images.



the command line like :



slu@machine:/c/work/dfsi$ export AWS_PROFILE=role-development
slu@machine:/c/work/dfsi$ aws ecr get-login


An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the GetAuthorizationToken operation: User: arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXXX:user/slu is not authorized to perform: ecr:GetAuthorizationToken on resource: *



but I can do:



aws ecr get-login --profile=role-development


What I want to do is not obviously write --profile and try to do it with hidden --profile variable?



How to do that?

  • are you asking where the default profile credentials are stored on your computer? Whatever credentials are set within that file under [default] will be used.

  • I do not ask default profile, I want to change profile to role-development as default profile, How to do it?

  • I think there is another issue here. This seems to be the correct method of switching profiles. Is there anything else about your setup that might be causing this issue?

  • when you type 'export' do you see your profile configuration correctly specified? does that name match up exactly with your ~/.aws/config?

  • Yes the role-development is defined in ~/.aws/config. I just want to use that profile instead of default profile just like in aws console switch role
