Is your request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am looking to use IAM roles to grant permissions to applications running on Amazon EC2 instances. An IAM instance profile is the entity that allows IAM role attachment with an EC2 instance. Because role credentials are temporary and rotated automatically, you don't have to manage credentials, and you don't have to worry about long-term security risks.

Describe the solution you'd like.

I would like to include the optional input parameter iam_instance_profile passed through to the EC2 instance resource so when launched, the IAM role will be attached.

Describe alternatives you've considered.
