Hi - How do I attach an IAM `policyAttachment` to an EC2 instance?

I have a policyAttacement as documented:

```const test_attach = new aws.iam.RolePolicyAttachment("test-attach", {
    role: role.name,
    policyArn: policy.arn,
});```
and an `aws.ec2.Instance`

What is the correct way to attach them together?

Hmm.

From the docs it isn't obvious how that is supposed to work. How do they connect?

• create a policy
• attach that policy to a role via rolepolicyattachment
• then attach the role to an instance profile as above
