}

Notes:

• The addition of the s3:CreateBucket action against the arn: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 is designed to work with single container Docker environments, but will not support multicontainer - which requires additional ECS action permissions.
