AWS Elastic Beanstalk - Environment must have instance profile associated with it

[dvyakimov]

Hi!

You need to add an instance entry in ebs_option.json. Without this, the status of the environment will not turn Green.

Example:
"Namespace": "aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration",
"OptionName": "IamInstanceProfile",
"Value": "aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-instans"

Can confirm this is definitely necessary.

the work around is to manually create an EC2 role and add the following to the eb_options.json file
{
"Namespace": "aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration",
"OptionName": "IamInstanceProfile",
"Value": "arn:aws:iam::<ACCOUNT_ID>:instance-profile/eb-invoicer-role"
}

Not sure why this is an issue now. If you look into others having the issue with EB, it seems to be regional? But not sure.

I can confirm the above works 10/10
