- The addition of the
s3:CreateBucket
action against thearn:aws:s3:::elasticbeanstalk-REGION-ACCOUNT_ID
resource is critical for the creation of new Elastic Beanstalk application instances - even if the bucket itself already exists. - Policy has been designed to work with single container Docker environments - not multicontainer, which are ECS cluster environments under the hood and requires additional IAM action permissions.
@mrg2k8 I had to add elasticbeanstalk:CreateStorageLocation to the first statement, not sure why CreateApplicationVersion wasn't enough.
Even then, the app seemed like it was deploying (as verified in the web console) but the CLI wouldn't terminate. I ended up just giving it elasticbeanstalk:*.
