Limit parameter store requests to the default context and profile.

[niels1voo]

using version 2.4.1, wondering if it is possible to configure the property source to avoid making (3/4) calls to paths that don't interest us?

We have the following parameter store configuration:
aws:
paramstore:
default-context: our-context
enabled: true
prefix: /our-prefix
profile-separator: '/'

spring_profiles_active=env
In our application's configuration we are only interested in the configurations set at
/our-prefix/our-context/env, the other paths are empty.

Unfortunately, this is the last path that is requested, following three useless calls, contributing to parameter store throttling exceptions when we spin up multiple fargate containers.

useless preliminary calls

the one we care about

Have you considered using spring.config.import=aws-parameterstore:/our-prefix/our-context/env instead of the legacy Spring Cloud Bootstrap context? This will load only what you exactly specify in configuration.

Thanks for the tip! This worked.
One minor correction, I needed a slash following the env.

I had considered this technique, but the documentation doesn't show that you can do this, it only mentions appending specific parameters after the colon.

Indeed this can be improved. Would you like to make a PR?

Just saw your suggestion. If this hasn't been done yet I will take it on.
