Configuring a named AWS CLI profile with credentials (aws configure --profile) and then running sam local invoke with the --profile option directs the AWS SDK calls from the local Lambda function to use those credentials for API access in the test account. This is the recommended way to authenticate AWS SDK calls during local testing.
