    ParameterKey=InstanceProfile,ParameterValue=NAME_OF_INSTANCE_PROFILE_WITH_EC2_AND_AUOSCALEGROUP_READONLY_ACCESS \
    --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

update cloudformation stack:

aws cloudformation udpate-stack --stack-name MY_STACK_NAME \
    --template-body file://cloudformation.yaml \
    --parameters \
    ParameterKey=CassandraAMI,ParameterValue=MY_CASSANDRA_AMI_ID \
