## Attach the IAM role to your instance

Since an EKS Cluster has already been pre-provisioned with all the IAM roles created, all you need to do is attach it!

1. Follow [this deep link to find your Cloud9 EC2 instance](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#Instances:search=aws-cloud9-harness;sort=desc:launchTime)

2. Select the instance, then choose **Actions / Security / Modify IAM role**
