**To remove the IAM role from the RDS for SQL Server DB instance**
+ The following Amazon CLI command removes the IAM role from a RDS for SQL Server DB instance named `{{mydbinstance}}`.  
**Example**  

  For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

  ```
  aws rds remove-role-from-db-instance \
  	   --db-instance-identifier {{mydbinstance}} \
  	   --feature-name S3_INTEGRATION \
  	   --role-arn {{your-role-arn}}
  ```

  For Windows:

  ```
  aws rds remove-role-from-db-instance ^
  	   --db-instance-identifier {{mydbinstance}} ^
  	   --feature-name S3_INTEGRATION ^
  	   --role-arn {{your-role-arn}}
  ```

  Replace `{{your-role-arn}}` with the appropriate IAM role ARN for the `--feature-name` option.
