terraform-provider-aws: Not able to create lambda function with aws_lambda_function

This issue was originally opened by @regin64 as hashicorp/terraform#15783. It was migrated here as a result of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

Hi,

I was trying to create a lambda function using Terraform onto AWS but did not succeed. After Terraform trying to create the lambda function, the debug information below (the gist link) kept showing up until the Terraform is shut down due to timeout (10 minutes).

Terraform Version

v0.9.9

Terraform Configuration Files

provider "aws" {
  access_key = "${var.aws_access_key}"
  secret_key = "${var.aws_secret_key}"
  region     = "${var.aws_region}"
}

resource "aws_lambda_function" "Resource-Creation-Tagger-2" {
  filename         = "lambda_function.zip"
  function_name    = "lambda_function"
  role             = "${aws_iam_role.Resource-Creation-Tagger-Role.arn}"
  handler          = "lambda_function.lambda_handler"
  runtime          = "python2.7"
  memory_size      = "128"
  timeout          = "3"
}

resource "aws_iam_role" "Resource-Creation-Tagger-Role" {
	name = "Resource-Creation-Tagger-Role"
	
	assume_role_policy = <<EOF

	]
}

}

	name = "Resource-Tagger-Role-Policy"
	role = "${aws_iam_role.Resource-Creation-Tagger-Role.id}"

            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:logs:*:*:*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "ec2:Describe*",
            "Resource": "*"
        },

            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:CreateTags"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
EOF
}
