Install with an AMI on Amazon EC2
If you are using a license included Visual Studio Amazon Machine Image (AMI) on Amazon EC2, you
can use the caller role (refactoringtoolkit-RefactoringToolkitCallerRole) directly,
without providing user credentials or editing configuration files. For more information about
AMIs, see User-based subscriptions
in AWS License Manager in the AWS License Manager User Guide.
The CloudFormation template creates an instance profile named

with CloudFormation in this guide.
You can launch an Amazon EC2 instance with an IAM role through the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI.
