AWS CLI configuration does not respect profile variable

[aahaselgrove]

I tried to use the command aws ec2 describe-spot-price-history in the CLI and received the error 'You must specify a region. You can also configure your region by running "aws configure".' When I first installed the CLI, I configured my credentials and region.

Running 'aws configure', I try to re-enter my details (they are listed as blank), but they do not save. I assume this is because I am using a profile. I have the environment variable AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE set to 'internal', and have attached my configuration files (with .txt extension added and sensitive data redacted).

config.txt
credentials.txt

Thanks for the report, there's a PR open to fix this issue here: #2972

As a workaround for now you'll need to run aws configure --profile name where name matches what's in AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE.
