iam_profile_name not being added to ec2

[aboutte]

I am attempting to specify an AWS IAM role in my .kitchen.yml but when the EC2 instance is created the role it not attached to the instance which is being verified in the AWS console.

test-kitchen (1.2.1)
kitchen-ec2 (0.8.0)

Here is my .kitchen.yml

---
driver:
  name: ec2
  aws_access_key_id: A....A
  aws_secret_access_key: S....v
  aws_ssh_key_id: s...s
  ssh_key: ~/.ssh/s....pem
  region: us-west-2
  availability_zone: us-west-2b
  require_chef_omnibus: true
  subnet_id: subnet-2...c 
  security_group_ids: ["sg-09...c", "sg-b...dd", "sg-...ad7", "sg-...46c"]
  iam_profile_name: chef-manager
  tags:
    Name: marketplace-test-kitchen
    created-by: test-kitchen

platforms:
  - name: AWS
    driver:
      image_id: ami-5....5
      username: ec2-user

suites:
  - name: default
    run_list:
      - role[base]
      - marketplace-shopatron
      - newrelic

What am I missing here?

I don't believe the iam_profile_name functionality is in a release yet but you can get it by referencing kitchen-ec2 master in your gemfile like so: gem 'kitchen-ec2', github: 'test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2'.

Hope that helps.

I was struggling with this too, but was of the belief that it had more to do with my lack of IAM profile policy crafting skillz. Thanks for this clarification !

Thanks @rayrod2030. Any idea when the next release will happen?

[rayrod2030]

I have no idea as I'm not a project maintainer but I'd love to see #42 hit master soon. :)

This has been added in the master branch and will be available in the next release.

This is being used to create the instance, and it is not attaching to the instance once it is up.
aws cli commands need an instance role to authenticate.

There needs to be something like: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/iam/add-role-to-instance-profile.html

In any case, using 0.8.0, this still does not seem to work.
