I am using, terraform & kubectl to deploy insfra-structure and application.
Since I changed aws configure :
terraform init
terraform apply
I always got :
terraform apply
Error: error validating provider credentials: error calling sts:GetCallerIdentity: InvalidClientTokenId: The security token included in the request is invalid.
status code: 403, request id: 5ba38c31-d39a-11e9-a642-21e0b5cf5c0e
on providers.tf line 1, in provider "aws":
1: provider "aws" {
Can you advise ? Appreciate !
From here.
This is a general error that can be cause by a few reasons.
Some examples:
1) Invalid credentials passed as environment variables or in ~/.aws/credentials
.
Solution: Remove old profiles / credentials and clean all your environment vars:
for var in AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY AWS_SESSION_TOKEN AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN ; do eval unset $var ; done
2) When your aws_secret_access_key
contains characters like the plus-sign +
or multiple forward-slash /
. See more in here.
Solution: Delete credentials and generate new ones.
3) When you try to execute Terraform inside a region which must be explicitly enabled (and wasn't).
(In my case it was me-south-1 (Bahrain)
- See more in here).
Solution: Enable region or move to an enabled one.
4) In cases where you work with 3rd party tools like Vault and don't supply valid AWS credentials to communicate with - See more in here.
All will lead to a failure of aws sts:GetCallerIdentity
API.
