Does anyone know what should be the minimum IAM permissions that would allow a user creating an EKS cluster?
I'm assuming a role to just create a cluster with Terraform and that role has got the following statements in its policy defined (nothing more than that):
{
"Sid": "AllowEKSCreate",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"eks:List*",
"eks:Describe*",
"eks:CreateCluster",
"ec2:Describe*"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "AllowEKSAll",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "eks:*",
"Resource": "arn:aws:eks:eu-west-1:XXXXXXXXXX:cluster/my-cluster"
}
In CloudTrail I'am only seeing:
AWS access key: XXXXXXXX
AWS region: eu-west-1
Error code: AccessDenied
Event ID: XXXXXXXX
Event name: CreateCluster
Event source: eks.amazonaws.com
Successful events:
No other event is present in CloudTrail that would be unsuccessful.
Found it!
The missing permission was iam:PassRole
on the Cluster IAM Role resource.
For some reason CloudTrail does not reveal that information :(
P.S. I think I made my question very clear so am wondering why someone would give me -1.
