Failure while creating instance

See original GitHub issue

At step 16/25 the script fails with perhaps some permission issue. I used the policy.json attached in repo

    raise error_class(parsed_response, operation_name)
botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (UnauthorizedOperation) when calling the RunInstances operation: You are not authorized to perform this operation.

The script gave an encoded message. I’ll try to figure out decoding it

Thanks for having spotted the policy issue. I already updated the policy.json file with iam:PassRole.

Good point about CW alarms! I did not think about them. I do not know if it is possible to do something like ELB registration preservation feature but will look at it. Thanks.

PS: BTW, if the Spot instance is in stop behavior, it still makes sense to have CW Alarms on them as the insatnce Id is permanent.
