Used to retrieve a list of roles in a region or create a roles resource, use role to operate on an individual resource.

Overview

Name	`roles`
Type	Resource
Description	Creates a new role for your AWS-account.<br/> For more information about roles, see [IAM roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles.html) in the IAM User Guide. For information about quotas for role names and the number of roles you can create, see [IAM and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_iam-quotas.html) in the IAM User Guide.
Id	`aws.iam.roles`

Name	Datatype	Description
`role_name`	`string`	A name for the IAM role, up to 64 characters in length. For valid values, see the ``RoleName`` parameter for the [CreateRole](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/APIReference/API_CreateRole.html) action in the User Guide.<br/> This parameter allows (per its [regex pattern](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/http://wikipedia.org/wiki/regex)) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-. The role name must be unique within the account. Role names are not distinguished by case. For example, you cannot create roles named both "Role1" and "role1".<br/> If you don't specify a name, CFN generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the role name.<br/> If you specify a name, you must specify the ``CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM`` value to acknowledge your template's capabilities. For more information, see [Acknowledging Resources in Templates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/Use
`region`	`string`	AWS region.
