Question

1. What's the reason to have profile used as only suffix to the context i.e current framework only supports (without any prefix) /{appName}/{profileSuffix} for ex: /my-app/test. Any specific reason not to have profile as suffix or provide some configuration to decide profileShould be suffix or prefix.
2. It seems AWS SDK not allowing querying the contexts that doesn't start with "/". While debugging the code I changed the context to have like test/my-app and I have aws secrets manager configured "test/my-app" with parameters db.password, user.api.key, etc.. with this change I am getting below stack trace. Am I missing something here?

com.amazonaws.services.simplesystemsmanagement.model.AWSSimpleSystemsManagementException: The parameter doesn't meet the parameter name requirements. The parameter name must begin with a forward slash \"/\". It can't be prefixed with \\\"aws\\\" or \\\"ssm\\\" (case-insensitive). It must use only letters, numbers, or the following symbols: . (period), - (hyphen), _ (underscore). Special characters are not allowed. All sub-paths, if specified, must use the forward slash symbol \"/\". Valid example: /get/parameters2-/by1./path0_.

@jkuipers appreciate your inputs on this.

i was confused with secret-manager and param-store.. i will have a look at secret-manager to clarify my doubts

Profile support is based on the same support in Spring Cloud Consul, so the same setup is used. That doesn’t allow profiles used as prefixes, so this code doesn’t either.

I don’t understand your second question: the value needs to start with a forward slash, yours doesn’t and the exception message clearly states the problem. So what’s the question exactly?
