Question

How do you create an IAM Role using AWS CLI?

Answer 1

You can create an IAM Role using the AWS CLI by defining the trust policy JSON file and using the create-role command.

Example Code:

aws iam create-role --role-name ExampleRole --assume-role-policy-document file://trust-policy.json

The trust-policy.json might look like this:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
            },
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
        }
    ]
}
