[iam] The value supplied for parameter 'instanceProfileName' is not valid.

Question

Running cdk deploy I receive the following error message:

CREATE_FAILED | AWS::ImageBuilder::InfrastructureConfiguration | TestInfrastructureConfiguration The value supplied for parameter ‘instanceProfileName’ is not valid. The provided instance profile does not exist. Please specify a different instance profile and try again. (Service: Imagebuilder, Status Code: 400, Request ID: 41f431d7-8544-48e9-9faf-a870b83b0100, Extended Request ID: null)

The C# code looks like this:

var instanceProfile = new CfnInstanceProfile(this, "TestInstanceProfile", new CfnInstanceProfileProps {
  InstanceProfileName = "test-instance-profile",
  Roles = new string[] { "TestServiceRoleForImageBuilder" }
});

var infrastructureConfiguration = new CfnInfrastructureConfiguration(this, "TestInfrastructureConfiguration", new CfnInfrastructureConfigurationProps {
  Name = "test-infrastructure-configuration",
  InstanceProfileName = instanceProfile.InstanceProfileName,
  InstanceTypes = new string[] { "t2.medium" },
  Logging = new CfnInfrastructureConfiguration.LoggingProperty {
    S3Logs = new CfnInfrastructureConfiguration.S3LogsProperty {
      S3BucketName = "s3-test-assets",
      S3KeyPrefix = "ImageBuilder/Logs"
    }
  },
  SubnetId = "subnet-12f3456f",
  SecurityGroupIds = new string[] { "sg-12b3e4e5b67f8900f" }
});

The TestServiceRoleForImageBuilder exists and was working previously. Same code was running successfully about a month ago. Any suggestions?

If I remove the CfninfrastructureConfiguration creation part, deployment runs successfully:, but takes at least 2 minutes to complete.

Is it probably some race condition? Should I use multiple stacks to achieve my goal?

I will repeat:

Needs to use AttrInstanceProfileName

How to make the own blog post about “A story of horrible customer support” to the reality for other peoples. “I already descriped the solution with 4 words. As you didn’t understand, I repeat the 4 words again, so we are in an endless horror support loop together now.”. Just think about that @rix0rrr

  InstanceProfileName = instanceProfile.InstanceProfileName,

Needs to use AttrInstanceProfileName, otherwise there is no dependency between the two resources and deployment results in a race condition that sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t (depending on which resource gets created first).
