AWS Elastic Beanstalk - Environment must have instance profile associated with it about invoicer-chapter2 HOT 2 OPEN

Can confirm this is definitely necessary.

from invoicer-chapter2.

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

from invoicer-chapter2.
