amazon.aws Release Notes

Topics

This is a bugfix release for the iam_role module that resolves the issue where IAM instance profiles were being created when create_instance_profile was set to false and addresses the EntityAlreadyExists exception when the instance profile already existed.

  • iam_role - fixes EntityAlreadyExists exception when create_instance_profile was set to false and the instance profile already existed (ansible-collections#2102).
  • iam_role - fixes issue where IAM instance profiles were created when create_instance_profile was set to false (ansible-collections#2281).

The amazon.aws 8.2.0 release includes a number of bugfixes, some new features and improvements. This releases also introduces a deprecation for the amazon.aws.iam_role module, where support for creating and deleting IAM instance profiles using the create_instance_profile and delete_instance_profile options has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2026-05-01.

  • iam_role - support for creating and deleting IAM instance profiles using the create_instance_profile and delete_instance_profile options has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2026-05-01. To manage IAM instance profiles the amazon.aws.iam_instance_profile module can be used instead (ansible-collections#2221).
