Problem scenario
You run an AWS CLI command, but you get this error:
An error occurred (InvalidParameterException) when calling the CreateNodegroup operation: Following required service principals [eks.amazonaws.com] were not found in the trust relationships of clusterRole arn:aws:iam::12345678910:role/foobar
How do you fix this?
Solution
Draft a command like this (but replace "12345677810:role/foobar" with the equivalent string in the error, and replace foobar.amazonaws.com with the service principal in the error):
aws iam list-roles --query 'Roles[?Arn==arn:aws:iam::12345678910:role/foobar]' | grep foobar.amazonaws.com
If the above command returns nothing, try the command again without the "| grep foobar.amazonaws.com". If your Role was configured correctly, you may need to open a ticket with AWS Support. If nothing is returned from the command above with the "grep", you need to modify the role. Go to the AWS Management Console, go to IAM -> Roles. Click on the role, go to "Trust Relationships" and "Edit Trust Relationship." Modify it like this:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "foo.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "bar.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]
}
