How to set an existing IAM role to a new instance while spinning in terraform?

Question

I am trying to attach an existing role created in AWS, but I am not able to add it in Terraform Code. I tried to add the role in instance profile but it didn't work either for me.

Is there any direct way to add it in the resource in Terraform Code ?

iam_instance_profile = "my-role"

Note: my-role is having the full access of ec2.

Answer 1

you can add role like below

role = "${aws_iam_role.ec2_role_name.name}"
