Is there a way I can use both *profile* and *iam_instance_profile* keys 
simultaneously in a Packer template? I'd like the initial launch of the 
temporary EC2 instance to use the local AWS CLI credentials (which we are 
referencing already in a packer template using the *profile* key) but the 
temporary EC2 instance to use an instance profile for the build scripts 
when running locally on that instance.

With *profile* alone, Packer uses the AWS CLI profile specified to launch 
the EC2 instance (though the instance doesn't have credentials 
cross-account to access an S3 bucket I need it to access)

With *profile* and *iam_instance_profile* it complains:
"InvalidParameterValue: Value (<profilename>) for parameter 
iamInstanceProfile.name is invalid"

Note that the profile name quoted is the AWS CLI profile name (the *profile* 
value, 
not the *iam_instance_profile* value.

Is it expected behaviour that *profile* and *iam_instance_profile* are 
mutually exclusive?

Thanks,
Steven
