IAM could not create an EC2 role due to the absence of an instance-profile ARN

Question

Hello, I need assistance with creating a new EC2 role. According to the documentation, I should create a new role from IAM and select EC2 under AWS service. However, after creating the role, there is no instance-profile ARN. The IAM user is an administrator with full access. Is there an issue?

Documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

I haven't created instance profiles via the console in a while, but since you already have your role created, you can create an EC2 instance profile and attach it to your existing role by launching CloudShell and running the following commands. Be sure to replace "EC2RoleForMyServer" with the name of your role:

```bash
aws iam create-instance-profile --instance-profile-name EC2RoleForMyServer
aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile --instance-profile-name EC2RoleForMyServer --role-name EC2RoleForMyServer
```
