Create EMR cluster error: "The instance profile for the newly created default role is not yet visible"

Question

I use an IAM account to log in AWS console and want to create an EMR cluster.
But when I click the "create cluster" button, it says: ```The cluster could not be created. The instance profile for the newly created default role is not yet visible. Wait a few seconds and try again.```

Do I miss some permissions or did anything else cause this?

Thanks very much.

Hi duwan,
It's more of a timing thing than anything else. After you create a role it might take several seconds for the permissions to propagate. Check out the following link and search for "***several seconds for the permissions to propagate***" to get to the relevant section...
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

Also look at the following link where the similar problem was encountered...
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/1885

There are two ways to solve the problem :-

1. try creating the cluster again as it's a timing thing and you likely won't encounter the problem again.
2. Create the default roles before you create the EMR cluster...
