Show named profile mapped to default
• Saving the 'credentials' file from VSCode or setting the default profile updates the status bar. • Click the item in the status bar to set the [default] profile to a [named] profile.
Set default profile
To be able to set the [default] profile to a named profile, in the 'credentials' file each profile section must contain only two entries following one of these formats:
• aws_access_key_id & aws_secret_access_key • role_arn & source_profile
This sample shows the master-profile in one account that uses an access key and secret and three role profiles each in a seperate account that references the master-profile as the source profile.
The [default] profile is set to qa-profile.
Put region and other entries in the config file. If a section in credentials includes more than the required two entries and you try to set the default profile to it, you will get the following error:
