To replace an IAM instance profile for an instance
This example replaces the IAM instance profile represented by the association
iip-assoc-060bae234aac2e7fa
with the IAM instance profile namedAdminRole
.aws ec2 replace-iam-instance-profile-association \ --iam-instance-profile
Name=AdminRole
\ --association-idiip-assoc-060bae234aac2e7fa
Output:
{ "IamInstanceProfileAssociation": { "InstanceId": "i-087711ddaf98f9489", "State": "associating", "AssociationId": "iip-assoc-0b215292fab192820", "IamInstanceProfile": { "Id": "AIPAJLNLDX3AMYZNWYYAY", "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:instance-profile/AdminRole" } } }
