Unable to Create EKS Cluster – Node IAM Role Issue

Cloud AWS
#1

Hi Team,

I’m unable to create an EKS cluster due to an issue with the Node IAM Role. When I assign any random name to the role, I encounter the following error:

Error Message - User: arn:aws:iam::059254148810:user/kk_labs_user_316044 is not authorized to perform: iam:PassRole on resource: arn:aws:iam::059254148810:role/iamRole-AmazonEKSAutoNodeRole because no identity-based policy allows the iam:PassRole action

Could you please confirm the correct name or configuration for the Node IAM Role required to make this work?

Thank you,
Vidya

How are you creating the cluster exactly. If you’re using the eksctl utility – we don’t support that due to side effects of permitting its action. Instead, please use this tutorial for creating the cluster; this will work with the restrictions we need to put on the playground accounts.
