AWS Beanstalk - getting "Access denied while accessing Auto Scaling and ..." error

Question

When I try to launch an Elastic Beanstalk environment from the command line, I get this error during the process:

Environment health has transitioned from Pending to Warning. Access denied while accessing Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing using role "arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXX:role/aws-elasticbeanstalk-service-role". Verify the role policy.

When I launch it from the console, I do not get this warning. I have tried to replicate the same AWS console configuration from the CLI , but I still get this error.

Any clue what's going on?

Answer 1

If anyone is still getting a similar error and is still unsure how to solve it

1. Navigate to IAM in the AWS Console.
2. Navigate to the aws-elasticbeanstalk-service-role (under Access Management > Roles).
3. Attach the following policies:
   • AutoScalingFullAccess
   • ElasticLoadBalancingFullAccess

I then rebuilt the environment, no more errors!

The following article helped me understand this better: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/concepts-roles-service.html

You can go to your IAM console. You will see the "aws-elasticbeanstalk-service-role", Under the permission tab, you can grant the specific you want to give the policy on your behalf. Refresh and you should have "Ok". Make sure the permission you grant the role can manage this " Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing using role"
