I would like to be able to specify the AWS credentials through the use of a profile ~.aws/credentials, as is done with most other AWS utilities. In the case of pcluster, this could be achieved by adding aws_profile item in the [aws] section of the configuration file, or by adding support for the --profile command-line option.

Hi Joey,

Thank you for opening this feature request. Supporting profiles like aws cli does (with a --profile cli option) is a very valid enhancement and we'll take this into account for the upcoming releases of ParallelCluster.

FWIW @joeydumont using export AWS_PROFILE=<you-profile> has worked for me when running pcluster on a system with multiple AWS profiles.
