How can I troubleshoot and resolve the issue of “the config profile could not be found”?

In the context of AWS, you can resolve and troubleshoot the issue of “the config profile could not be found” while configuring the AWS command line interface on your local machine by using the several steps which are given below:-

Checking Configuration file

Try to verify that the AWS Command line interface should contain the specified profile. Also, try to ensure that the profile name matches the one you are trying to use.

Verify profile name

Try to double-check the profile name which you are using in the AWS Command line interface or environment variable. Also, try to ensure that it matches the name of the profile which is defined in the file of Configuration.

Create or update the file

If your file doesn’t exist in the file of Configuration, then you can try to create it manually by editing the Configuration file or by using the “aws configure” command with the “- - profile” options so that you can specify the name of the profile.

Permission and credentials

Try to ensure that the credentials should be associated with the particular profile with the necessary permissions to access resources if AWS. You can check this by reviewing the IAM policies which are attached to the IAM user or role associated with the credentials.

Debugging

Try to enable the debugging for the AWS Command line interface setting the “AWS DEBUG” environment variable to 1 or you can use the “—debug” option in the command line interface Command.

Here is the simplified example given of how you can update an existing profile or even Create a new one by using the command line interface of AWS:-

# Update existing profile
Aws configure –profile 
# Create a new profile
Aws configure –profile
