[SOLVED] Amazon EC2 instances multiple IAM roles

Issue

At the moment I have 2 AWS IAM roles and each has 1 policy, call them Policy-A and Policy-B. I would like to attach both roles to an EC2 instance. Alternative is to create a new role which has both Policy-A and Policy-B.

Can I attach more than 1 IAM role to an EC2 instance?

Solution

You can attach only one role to ec2 instance. Refer this amazon document: IAM Roles for Amazon EC2. Instead:

• create 2 managed policies
• attach them to the same IAM Role.
• Attach that IAM Role to the EC2 instance.
