FIX ERROR – Terraform: Instance Profile already exists

When executed, execute “terraform apply” during execution when creating the “IAM Profile“, it ends with the following error:

	* aws_iam_instance_profile.ecs_profile: 1 error occurred:
	* aws_iam_instance_profile.ecs_profile: Error creating IAM instance profile stg-artem-service-profile: EntityAlreadyExists: Instance Profile stg-artem-service-profile already exists.
	status code: 409, request id: a77fec43-7ad2-11e9-9e4e-7744dbc7b890

Solution:

Use AWS Cli to find the IAM Profile and delete it.

aws --profile artem iam list-instance-profiles

See the list of existing IAM Profiles:

{
    "InstanceProfiles": [
        {
            "Path": "/",
            "InstanceProfileName": "stg-artem-service-profile",
            "InstanceProfileId": "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY",
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXXX:instance-profile/stg-artem-service-profile",
            "CreateDate": "2019-05-17T14:06:27Z",
            "Roles": []
        }
    ]
}

Remove unnecessary IAM Profile:

aws iam delete-instance-profile --instance-profile-name stg-artem-service-profile
