Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Provider ID, Secret etc aren't encrypted. If its not provided in the config then salt-cloud should prompt.
ec2-private:
minion:
master: 10.10.10.10
# id: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
# key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
private_key: /etc/salt/test.pem
keyname: test
ssh_interface: private_ips
driver: ec2
If Commented out then I get the following error instead of prompt.
[ERROR ] There was a profile error: 'ec2-test-public'

Research direction
Start by tracing salt-cloud's EC2 provider profile handling and the path that produces the reported profile error when id or key is absent. Verify the behavior with the configuration example in the issue: missing Provider ID and Secret should trigger a prompt rather than the profile error, while supplied values should continue to work.
