of sts to execute commands with different privileges than the API
keys specified.

* Overriding S3 endpoint - Enable specifying your own
S3 api endpoint to override the default one, under
endpoints.
* Force S3 path style - Expose this option from the aws-sdk-go
configuration to the provider.
This allows specification of the profile for the shared credentials
provider for AWS to be specified in Terraform configuration. This is
useful if defining providers with aliases, or if you don't want to set
environment variables. Example:
$ aws configure --profile this_is_dog
... enter keys
$ cat main.tf
provider "aws" {
profile = "this_is_dog"
# Optionally also specify the path to the credentials file
shared_credentials_file = "/tmp/credentials"
}
This is equivalent to specifying AWS_PROFILE or
AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE in the environment.
This tripped me up today when I was trying to connect using MFA. I had a look at the source and found the token property, tested it out and low and behold it worked!
Hopefully this saves someone else going through the same pain
