The command aws configure get ${name} --profile ${profile_name} is used to retrieve a specific configuration value from the AWS CLI configuration file for a given profile.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. aws configure get: This is the command used to retrieve a configuration value from the AWS CLI configuration file.

  2. ${name}: This is a variable that represents the specific configuration value you want to retrieve. For example, you can use region, output, or any other valid configuration option.

  3. --profile ${profile_name}: This specifies the profile from which the configuration value should be retrieved. --profile is an optional parameter, and if not provided, the default profile is used. ${profile_name} is a variable that you can replace with the actual profile name you want to retrieve the configuration value from.

Overall, this command helps you retrieve a specific configuration value from the AWS CLI configuration file for a given profile, allowing you to access and use that value in your scripts or commands.
