Clarification on Elastic Load Balancing Permissions in AWS Cloud Playground

Playgrounds
#1

Hi Team,

I’m using the AWS Cloud Playground for hands-on practice, and I noticed on the playground info page that Elastic Load Balancing is listed with “Basic operations are supported.”

However, when I tried to perform actions like creating a load balancer using the AWS CLI, the IAM policy simulation shows an implicit deny for actions such as:

  • elasticloadbalancing:CreateLoadBalancer
  • elasticloadbalancing:CreateLoadBalancerListeners
  • elasticloadbalancingv2:CreateLoadBalancer

Example output:

|                          SimulatePrincipalPolicy                   |
+----------------------------------------------------+---------------+
|                     Action                         |    Decision   |
+----------------------------------------------------+---------------+
| elasticloadbalancing:CreateLoadBalancer            | implicitDeny  |
| elasticloadbalancing:CreateLoadBalancerListeners   | implicitDeny  |
| elasticloadbalancingv2:CreateLoadBalancer          | implicitDeny  |
+----------------------------------------------------+---------------+

Could you please clarify what “basic operations” specifically includes for Elastic Load Balancing? Are create actions intentionally restricted?

This would help me plan my learning effectively. Thank you for the great platform and your support!
