+**Example 1: This example creates a new "v2" version of the IAM policy whose ARN is`arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/MyPolicy` and makes it the default version. The `NewPolicyVersion.json` file provides the policy content. Note that you must use the `-Raw` switch parameter to successfully process the JSON policy file.**
