Create EMR cluster error: "The instance profile for the newly created default role is not yet visible"

Hi duwan, It's more of a timing thing than anything else. After you create a role it might take several seconds for the permissions to propagate. Check out the following link and search for "several seconds for the permissions to propagate" to get to the relevant section... https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

Also look at the following link where the similar problem was encountered... https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/1885

There are two ways to solve the problem :-

1. try creating the cluster again as it's a timing thing and you likely won't encounter the problem again.
2. Create the default roles before you create the EMR cluster... https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/emr/create-default-roles.html
