abregman 99c4e02ecf Rename exercises dir
Name it instead "topics" so it won't be
strange if some topics included "exercises" directory.

## AWS EC2 - IAM Roles
### Requirements
1. Running EC2 instance without any IAM roles (so you if you connect the instance and try to run AWS commands, it fails)
2. IAM role with "IAMReadOnlyAccess" policy
### Objectives
1. Attach a role (and if such role doesn't exists, create it) with "IAMReadOnlyAccess" policy to the EC2 instance
2. Verify you can run AWS commands in the instance
### Solution
#### Console
1. Go to EC2 service
2. Click on the instance to which you would like to attach the IAM role
3. Click on "Actions" -> "Security" -> "Modify IAM Role"
4. Choose the IAM role with "IAMReadOnlyAccess" policy and click on "Save"
5. Running AWS commands now in the instance should work fine (e.g. `aws iam list-users`)
