Unable to set AWS profile correctly

[muddahany]

I am having a difficulty setting AWS profile with serverless-compse

We have a Makefile that basically loads up the AWS credentials inside a profile and then use it to deploy. The following approaches were taken when running the CD:

• Using aws-profile in the serverless cli params didn't work since it isn't yet supported by sls-compose.
• Setting the profile name on serverless.yml in the subpackages didn't load the profile but rather used the default one; even though when echoing using @aws sts get-caller-identity --profile serverless inside the Makefile , the correct credentials were loaded.
• Setting env var with AWS_PROFILE= also does not work and serverless assumes the default profile.
