I've read and look at code but not found a way to set the attachment of a existent iam > role + policy using this module. in my perception always will be create a new.

Is there a way to use a existent?

Don't know if you still need this - but you can do this using iam_instance_profile

So create your role, then create an aws_iam_instance_profile resource. Like so:

iam policy ect...

resource "aws_iam_role" "ec2_role" {
  role            = "myRole"
  policy_arn = aws_iam_policy.myPolicy.arn
}

resource "aws_iam_instance_profile" "ec2_profile" {
  name = "instanceProfileName"
  role    = aws_iam_role.ec2_role.name
}

Then in the ec2 module add the property for aws_iam_instance_profile and set it like so: iam_instance_profile = aws_iam_instance_profile.ec2_profile.name

See: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/iam_instance_profile iam_instance_profile
