[chef] Re: Re: Re: Using config/credential profiles with chef-provisioning-aws

[Mark Harrison < >]

Possibly stupid question: do the profiles other than the default one
start with 'profile' (e.g. '[profile test1]') in the credentials file
(the AWS credentials file is weird in that the default profile is just
[default], but others are [profile profilename])? Also, do your
alternate profiles with with the aws command line tools and the
--profile option or other non-chef-provisioning tools?
