1. are you able to run aws --profile my_profile sts get-caller-identity?
2. can you check the output of cdk deploy -vvv --profile my_profile and did you see any errors there?
3. Was it previously working in any previous version but not working in 2.177.0 ?
4. Can you share your ~/.aws/config ? (make sure you mask the account info)
