AWS Playground - Which services are actually supported? (EMR & Bedrock not working)

Hi,

I launched the AWS Playground and logged in successfully with the provided credentials, but I’m getting permission errors when trying to use certain services.

Issues I’m experiencing:

  1. EMR: Getting “Error fetching Amazon EMR releases - You do not have permission to use Amazon EMR API ListClusters. Request permission from your administrator.”
  2. Bedrock: Also not working (permission denied)

My questions:

  1. Is this expected behavior? Are EMR and Bedrock not included in the Playground’s allowed services?
  2. If so, could you share a complete list of supported services in AWS Playground?
  3. Or is this a bug/configuration issue on my account?

I understand Playground has limited permissions, but I couldn’t find clear documentation on exactly which services are available.

Thanks for your help!

As far as I know, Bedrock should work with the AWS AI playground, but currently does not – this is a known issue.

As for EMR, the regular AWS playground should support it, with the following limits:

If you’re trying to do EMR within these limits and you still can’t, that’s NOT a known issue, and we need to look into that. I’ll do a quick test and see what I find.

I did a quick check on EMR – appears to be busted very hard. I’ve written up a report for engineering; I’ll tell you when they get back to me, hopefully with a fix.
