Profile option on AmazonS3Client

Question

The .NET client for AmazonS3Client has an option to pass 'Region' via its constructor. But I did not see an option for providing 'profile'. Is there a way of specifying profile?

Answer

Please refer to [the documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/v3/developer-guide/creds-locate.html). You can specify a profile (either from the shared credentials file or from a custom file) by using the `CredentialProfileStoreChain` class and obtaining an `AWSCredentials` object:

```c#
var storeChain = new CredentialProfileStoreChain();
if (storeChain.TryGetAWSCredentials("some_profile", out var awsCredentials))
{
    // Use awsCredentials to create an Amazon S3 service client
    using var client = new AmazonS3Client(awsCredentials);
}
```
