Can't use CDK to deploy to govcloud

See original GitHub issue

When running cdk deploy from my command line when my AWS_PROFILE is set to my govcloud credentials. I get an error: Need to perform AWS calls for account unknown-account, but no credentials found. Tried: default credentials.. When I switch to a profile that is for a non-gov region, then it works just fine.

I have Administrator permissions in both accounts right now.

I had similar issue and it seems that the problem was corrupted ~/.aws/config file. After cleaning it, everything went well.

Ah, @rix0rrr you’re right. I just took a look at my original ~/.aws/config and had both a [default] and a [profile default] block. I removed the [profile default] entry and reverted my credentials file to my master account credentials and CDK seems to be working as expected.

Thanks for reference on the auth mechanisms too 👍
