Use AWS Profile on the local development environment rather than key/secret?

[EdsonF]

Is it possible to use AWS Profile on the local development environment rather than key/secret?

Thanks for your help

I'd also like to know if this is possible... the readme hints that this is possible:

Note In the above example credentials is in clear text and this is not the Amazon recommended way of doing things. See Configuring Credentials and End Point.

But that section is empty...

But then again, based on this maybe it works just by leaving accessKey and secret empty?

Sorry for not replying sooner! Yes, this works. I believe at least one of the samples is set up this way. I'll get back to you with a more comprehensive answer and possibly even update the doc! ons 21 juni 2017 kl. 16:34 skrev idlem1nd <notifications@github.com>:

Thanks if you could help - I can only get it to work by specifying the accessKey and secret. If I miss those out, the XmlConfigurator.Configure method in log4net throws a CloudWatchAppenderException at startup, "Couldn't create Amazon client"

You seem to be using an old version. What version are you using?

@camitz I'm using the latest version from NuGet - 4.7.0.6
