Ensure the ELB Service Role exists
In AWS accounts that have never created a load balancer before, it’s possible that the service role for ELB might not exist yet.
We can check for the role, and create it if it’s missing.
Copy/Paste the following commands into your Cloud9 workspace:
aws iam get-role --role-name "AWSServiceRoleForElasticLoadBalancing" || aws iam create-service-linked-role --aws-service-name "elasticloadbalancing.amazonaws.com"
