I'm testing out AWS and Elastic Beanstalk and have Beanstalk running a version that was manually uploaded.

When I try to update the version via the command line, the command line returns ok but Beanstalk shows an error event.

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-35-38 ~]$ /usr/bin/aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment --environment-name play-app-test --version-label play-app-1051 --region us-east-1
True    play-app play-app-test.elasticbeanstalk.com       2015-09-27T04:05:25.486Z        2015-09-27T06:07:28.031Z                .....us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com   e-jk8fyjd3dt    play-app-test    Grey    64bit Amazon Linux 2015.03 v2.play-app-1051Node.js
TIER    WebServer       Standard
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-35-38 ~]$

Service:Amazon S3, Message:You do not have permission to perform the 's3:ListBucket' action. Verify that your S3 policies and your ACLs allow you to perform these actions.

Who exactly is it that does not have permission?

My Beanstalk environment's health permissions role is aws-elasticbeanstalk-service-role to which I've attached a policy granting access to S3 (I use the same policy for the user that uploaded the build to S3 and it worked there).

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::play-app-builds"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:*"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::play-app-builds/*"
        }
    ]
}

The Beanstalk environment server's instance profile role is aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role which also has the above policy attached.

I turned on CloudTrail. It shows the UpdateEnvironment call but doesn't show any S3 calls after that. I'm not sure if CloudTrail shows failed calls or not.

Within S3 I turned logging on for the builds bucket but nothing has been logged.

What am I missing?

You are whoever aws iam get-user (with no user name) says you are.

  • That prints out my deploy user who has the above policy, which grants s3:ListBucket..?

  • I suspect you've found some sort of bug and need to be talking to Amazon. Sep 27, 2015 at 6:45
  • I attached the built-in policy AmazonS3FullAccess to the user and now deploy works (well, I had other policy errors, but the rest were very explanatory, only S3 seems to give vague errors). So, the problem is not with which user but with the policy, which I assumed was correct since the policy is used with uploading to S3. I'm going to mark your answer as correct--you did answer my primary question which is the user context. Thank you. Now I still would like to figure out what I'm missing from my S3 policy. More experimenting. :-)
