Hello all, getting started here and trying to get an EKS cluster up from the example.  Im’ having problems with permissions, from the <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws-native/installation-configuration/|docs> it says `...ensure it has sufficient permissions to deploy and manage your program's resources.` But what are those permissions?  Is there a list similar to the one `kOps` has in it’s docs <https://kops.sigs.k8s.io/getting_started/aws/#setup-iam-user> ?

You're typically going to want any AWS principal running `pulumi up` to have full admin privs.

kops is the outlier here - every other IaC tool I've used generally recommends full admin, but that's because kops is very limited in what AWS resources it might create.

Oh, ok.  The docs only say d `you have an IAM user in the AWS console with Programmatic access` .  I’ll create a user with this <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/getting-started_create-admin-group.html> .
