Which of the following is true of an instance profile when an IAM role is created using the
console?

A.
The instance profile uses a different name.

B.
The console gives the instance profile the same name as the role it corresponds to.

C.
The instance profile should be created manually by a user.

D.
The console creates the role and instance profile as separate actions.

Explanation:
Amazon EC2 uses an instance profile as a container for an IAM role. When you create an IAM
role using the console, the console creates an instance profile automatically and gives it the same
name as the role it corresponds to. If you use the AWS CLI, API, or an AWS SDK to create a role,
you create the role and instance profile as separate actions, and you might give them different
names.
