Not Picking up Instance Profile On EC2

[jamcg]

What is not working?
Hi, I am attempting to use stratus with an EC2 instance profile attached to an EC2 instance. However, stratus cannot pickup the role to authenticate. Am I missing a step to get this working?

I have created an EC2 instance with an IAM Instance Profile attached. The IAM Role is assigned AdministratorAccess.

What OS are you using?
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

What is your Stratus Red Team version?

$ stratus version
2.20.0

Full output?

$ echo $AWS_REGION
us-east-1

2025/02/03 12:59:24 you are not authenticated against AWS, *or* you have not set your region.

Troubleshooting:
1. Are you authenticated against AWS?
2. Do you have a region or default region set (whether in your AWS configuration file or in your environment)? If not, run 'export AWS_REGION=xxx'
