Support credentials stored via AWS CLI

What's the reason behind using dotenv instead of ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials?

Those work as well. The AWS SDK picks them up automatically. I think profile support was added as well.

@LeeSaferite I receive the following error message:

# stackformation stack:timeline


  [Exception]
  Environment variable AWS_DEFAULT_REGION not set.


stack:timeline <stack>

cat ~/.aws/config
[default]
region = ap-southeast-2

I can confirm that, its an issue
https://github.com/AOEpeople/StackFormation/blob/master/src/StackFormation/Profile/Manager.php#L25

I will take care

In contrast to credentials, it seems that the SDK is not reading the ~/.aws/config automatically. Thats the reason why it is required to define the env var AWS_DEFAULT_REGION.

I will talk to @fbrnc , maybe we could add this as an fallback in Stackformation. So; first use the env var, if not available, check the config file, if not available, throw an exception.

Hey @kj187 i added a pull request to define region in the profiles.yml see #28

Hey @dng-dev

awesome, thanks!
But it would also a nice fallback to ingest the region directly from ~/.aws/config if there is no explicit region found in the stackformation profile config.
