I want to avoid typing --profile dev-platform every time I want to access the AWS cli commands.
How do I add a postfix or suffix like --profile dev-platform every time I want to run an AWS command?
I just want to type aws s3 ls with out manually putting in the profile each time like the above two instances.
aws *wild card* --profile dev-platform
I tried some things like
alias aws= aws ** | --profile dev-platform
but to no avail.
Assuming you have multiple profiles in your ~/.aws/config, and want to set dev-platform as the profile to use for your terminal session you can use:
export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=dev-platform
This will set the default AWS profile to the selected profile for your terminal session.
I switch between multiple profile regularly and create aliases for my different profiles so I can use a short command like use-dev to switch to my dev profile, or use-prod, to switch to my production profile quickly and easily without having to type the full command.
