AWS profile chooser

Super short AWS hint.

Having different AWS profiles, I do not want to pick default one just because I forgot --profile command line option.

Just looking for a way of forcing me having to choose an AWS profile before issuing any command.

My solution was (for bash only):

1. Removing default profile in ~/.aws/credentials
   No command will work from now on without a --profile or an AWS_PROFILE environment variable

2. Creating a one-liner alias for choosing the desired profile and setting $AWS_PROFILE environment variable.
   
   An alias let me reuse the same shell I'm in.
   

alias aws-profile-chooser='x() { select prof in $( aws configure list-profiles ) ; do  export AWS_PROFILE="$prof"; break; done }; x'

(you can see the gist here)

This command will show me available profiles, and after choosing the right one, it will set AWS_PROFILE environment variable.

$ aws-profile-choose 1) default2) amplify-udemy3) aws-lambda-deploy4) test-aws#?

From now on if I forget to choose a profile, any command will break.

Choosing and setting an AWS profile...is now a breeze! ;)
