Pulumi Community

<@U010UU3CUS2> just to be clear, you have a Pulumi program with the Pulumi SDK and you're also using the `aws-sdk-go` inside the program?

<https://gist.github.com/ohlol/9eadec2086ba96f155e31f484d61902b>

this is from running `pdm run pulumi preview -C &lt;project_dir&gt; -s &lt;stack&gt; --diff` in github actions

i need the actual code in your Pulumi program

try setting the config value:
```pulumi config set aws:skipMetadataApiCheck false```
in your pulumi program

or set the env var: `AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED=false`

what confuses me is that this isn’t an issue with terraform and it wasn’t with pulumi in the past

hmm still doesn’t work in a container, tho

<https://gist.github.com/ohlol/4ea2781c027c236315be3b2e49fe5a8c> is the scope of the error

this is why: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/1692>

<@U010UU3CUS2> you're using the aws SDK there, and need to make sure you have creds for it

It's on an ec2 instance with an attached role

Permissions are not an issue; the same host runs terraform with no issues

<https://gist.github.com/ohlol/655f08b2b79a56b6f622582afd43d494>

running Pulumi on the host works, then it doesn’t: <https://gist.github.com/ohlol/9c8d0484c2403ea8afcab71c92bcd4bc>

the gists previous to this are from it erroring on the same stack as the first `preview` run in this output just linked

`[urn=urn:pulumi:main::account::pulumi:pulumi:Stack::account-main]`

&gt; EC2RoleRequestError: no EC2 instance role found

but, as previously shown, there is a role attached to the instance
