[Bug] eksctl create podidentityassociation does not support --profile flag

[skubot]

Hi there, we use SSM session manager... so to create a cluster I need to supply the --profile flag eg:
eksctl create cluster -f cluster.yaml --profile ${PROFILE}

Now I want to create an EKS pod identity association using:
eksctl create podidentityassociation -f cluster.yaml --profile ${PROFILE}
However then I get this error:

Error: unknown flag: --profile

Is it possible to support profile flag in create podidentityassociation sub-command?

Thanks

Maybe this is not a bug, maybe a feature request? ...but wouldn't it make sense for all eksctl sub-commands to support the --profile flag?

Just noticed this today as well for eksctl get podidentityassociation

@skubot, yes, this was probably an oversight. --profile should be supported by all eksctl commands that query Kubernetes or invoke the AWS API. In the meantime, I'd recommend working around it by passing the AWS_PROFILE environment variable.

Thanks @cPu1 setting AWS_PROFILE works. Hopefully --profile gets supported across the board.
