Description

While AWS has added the ability to attach an instance-role after-the-fact, some users would likely prefer that the reconstituted EC2 had its instance-role attached prior to initial-boot of recovered instance (e.g., in case the userData they inject needs to leverage an instance-role's capabilities)
