+**Example 1: This command adds the role named`S3Access` to an existing instance profile named `webserver`. To create the instance profile, use the `New-IAMInstanceProfile` command. After you create the instance profile and associate it with a role using this command, you can attach it to an EC2 instance. To do that, use the `New-EC2Instance` cmdlet with either the `InstanceProfile_Arn` or the `InstanceProfile-Name` parameter to launch the new instance.**
