Simple IAM Issue with CodeDeploy
I found the answer in this link: https://h2ik.co/2019/02/28/aws-codedeploy-blue-green/
Without wanting to take the credit, only one statement was missing from @PeskyGnat :
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"iam:PassRole",
"ec2:CreateTags",
"ec2:RunInstances"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
I was also getting the error:
"The IAM role does not give you permission to perform operations in the following AWS service: AmazonAutoScaling. Contact your AWS administrator if you need help. If you are an AWS administrator, you can grant permissions to your users or groups by creating IAM policies."
I figured out the 2 permissions needed to get past this error, I created the policy below and attached it to the Code Deploy role:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"iam:PassRole",
"ec2:RunInstances",
"ec2:CreateTags"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
