 ## Create an IAM EC2 instance role and profile
 
 As we'll be using [Amazon S3 object storage](#amazon-s3-object-storage), our EC2 instances need to have read, write, and list permissions for our S3 buckets. To avoid embedding AWS keys in our GitLab config, we'll make use of an [IAM Role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles.html) to allow our GitLab instance with this access.
