Describe the bug
Parameter Store cannot be disabled in a profile-specific config file

Sample
working example

application.yml

spring:
  config:
    import:
      - aws-parameterstore:/ecs-config/application/

  cloud:
    aws:
      parameterstore:
        enabled: false  

not working example

application.yml

spring:
  config:
    import:
      - aws-parameterstore:/ecs-config/application/

together with
application-dev.yml

spring:
  cloud:
    aws:
      parameterstore:
        enabled: false  

the application does not start with dev profile

err:

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Config data resource '[ParameterStoreConfigDataResource@306851c7 context = '/ecs-config/application/', optional = false]' via location 'aws-parameterstore:/ecs-config/application/' does not exist

Action:

Check that the value 'aws-parameterstore:/ecs-config/application/' at class path resource [application.yml] - 4:9 is correct, or prefix it with 'optional:'

You can set the import to optional:

optional:aws-parameterstore:/ecs-config/application/

@tinah-1973 thank you but I don't want to have it optional. I need it to fail when there is a missing config in prod env for example

I am playing with it a bit more, looks like no spring.cloud.aws.parameterstore.* property can be overridden by a profile-specific config file.

[DalinSeivewright]

I can confirm this is the behavior I am seeing. I can enable/disable parameterstore for example in my application.properties but it is completely ignored in other profile properties files. A workaround that seemed to work fine for me (and might work for you @dominik-kovacs) is to set it to a custom property and then set that property instead in the other profile properties as configuration resolving still happens normally in spring.

# application.properties
spring.cloud.aws.parameterstore.enabled=${my.custom.property}
# application-local.properties
my.custom.property=false
# application-prod.properties
my.custom.property=true
