Hello all, getting started here and trying to get an EKS cluster up from the example. Im’ having problems with permissions, from the 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 .
That worked! Thank you @stocky-restaurant-98004.
