Setting Up Ec2 Instance Profiles

Handles the full workflow of getting EC2 instances to authenticate with AWS services using IAM roles instead of hardcoded credentials. You create or reuse a role with the right policies, attach it via an instance profile, and verify everything works. The skill includes a step-by-step procedure and troubleshooting for common issues like credential propagation delays and replacing existing profiles. Useful when you're setting up instances that need to talk to S3, DynamoDB, or other AWS services without embedding access keys in your code or config files.
