how to set AWS_PROFILE

[bennettp123]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the CLI, I use separate profiles for different S3 storage backends, and I switch between them by exporting AWS_PROFILE.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to set (or override) the aws profile used to authenticate to the S3 backend.

This could be done using AWS_PROFILE, or by

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could probably set profile in the backend URL (eg s3://bucket?awssdk=v2&profile=<profile-name>, but we set this in Pulumi.yaml (which we store in source control), and profile names differ from person to person.

Alternatively, I could set the environment variable for the deskypus app (using open --env AWS_PROFILE="..." /Applications/Deskypus.app, probably). This would work well for a single profile, but I'd probably need to launch a separate instance for each profiles.

@bennettp123 do you think auto-activating an environment defined in Deskypus when you switch backend URLs would help you in this situation? That way, you can create different environments with different values for AWS_PROFILE.
