Creating an Instance Profile

To create an instance profile:

1. Run the following command:
   aws iam create-instance-profile \
--instance-profile-name <Workernodes Instance profile name>
2. Record your assigned worker node's instance profile name in the AWS worksheet. In our example we will use srgdemo-workernodes-instance-profile. The command will return a description of the newly-created instance profile. For example:

{
   "InstanceProfile":{
      "InstanceProfileId":"AIPAJMBYC7DLSPEXAMPLE",
      "Roles":[
         
      ],
      "CreateDate":"2015-03-09T20:33:19.626Z",
      "InstanceProfileName":"Webserver",
      "Path":"/",
      "Arn":"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:instance-profile/Webserver"
   }
}

3. Record the Arn value in the AWS Worksheet as Workernodes Instance profile ARN.

4. Run the following command to add the role to the instance profile:
   aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile \
--instance-profile-name <Workernodes Instance profile name> \
--role-name <Workernodes role name>

Where:

<Workernodes Instance profile name>: Use the instance profile name created above or by your AWS infrastructure administrators and recorded in the AWS worksheet. For example, srgdemo-workernodes-instance-profile.

<Workernodes role name>: Use the role name created by your AWS infrastructure administrators and recorded in the AWS worksheet. For example, srgdemo-workernodes-svc-role.

Example:
aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile --instance-profile-name srgdemo-workernodes-instance-profile --role-name srgdemo-workernodes-svc-role
