**To describe instance profiles**

The following ``describe-instance-profiles`` example retrieves the details of an instance profile identified by its ARN. ::

    aws dms describe-instance-profiles \
        --filters Name=instance-profile-identifier,Values=arn:aws:dms:us-east-1:123456789012:instance-profile:EXAMPLEABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS

Output::

    {
        "InstanceProfiles": [
            {
                "InstanceProfileArn": "arn:aws:dms:us-east-1:123456789012:instance-profile:EXAMPLEABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS",
                "KmsKeyArn": "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111",
