Hey @landbay-brunomurino - this is great! The feature you're documenting has not been released yet, so I think we might want to call out the versions that support this feature in these docs.
Check out the notes below for some additional thoughts. Thanks for opening this PR!

Can we add a header above this line like:
### Specifying an IAM Profile
:::info New in dbt v0.18.0
The `iam_profile` config option for Redshift profiles is new in dbt v0.18.0
:::

Is the idea here that the data_engineer profile above is pointing back to the default profile for access keys? I think I don't totally understand the purpose of these docs, and I question if they're relevant enough to dbt to include here. If there's an external resource we can link out to that provides best practices around how to configure an .aws/config file, I'd be supportive of linking out to it here.

@drewbanin Done! I ended up just referring to the documentation as it's already pretty rich. Thanks for the review! |

@brunomurino this is unfortunate, but I think the Are you able to address the merge conflict? We shuffled some files around - I think we might want to move these changes over to this file after the restructuring. Sorry about that, and let me know if I can help out at all with this one |
