How to login with AWS CLI using credentials profiles

I want to setup multiple AWS profiles so that I can easily change settings and credentials when jumping between projects.

I've read the AWS documentation but it's quite vague about how to select what profile you want to use when logging in.

When I'm trying to login it's just giving me this error which seems to indicate that it's not picking up any credentials.

An error occurred (UnrecognizedClientException) when calling the GetAuthorizationToken operation: The security token included in the request is invalid.

For me although I setup everything is above, I have older aws cli version is causing this issue.

$ curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
$ unzip awscli-bundle.zip
$ sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws

By applying above commands it resolves my issue.

After a couple of minutes, I found the rule :

If you want to use AWS_PROFILE makes sure that the rest of AWS env vars are unset (NOT empty only ... MUST be UNSET).

profile=$AWS_PROFILE
unset $(printenv |grep AWS_ | cut -f1 -d"=");
export AWS_PROFILE=${profile};

Then :

  # with aws cli >= 1.x
  $(aws ecr get-login --no-include-email --region ${aws_region})

  # with aws cli >= 2.x
  registry=${aws_account_id}.dkr.ecr.${aws_region}.amazonaws.com
  aws ecr get-login-password --region ${aws_region} | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin ${registry}
