Prometheus failing to provision storage

Question

I am following the aws guides for setting up  an EKS cluster, enabling logging, and installing prometheus.  All seems to go well, but my prometheus-server pod gets stuck in pending.  In the AWS EKS console when I check the persistent volume claims I see the following message:

failed to provision volume with StorageClass "gp2": rpc error: code = Internal desc = Could not create volume "...": could not create volume in EC2: UnauthorizedOperation: You are not authorized to perform this operation. Encoded authorization failure message.

Accepted Answer

Disregard - figured it out.

Per Amazon's instructions, after you create your EKS cluster you have to attach certain policies to the EKSNodeRole created by default.  This is outlined in Step 6 of installing your cluster...
*6.  (Recommended) Configure your cluster for the Amazon VPC CNI plugin for Kubernetes plugin before deploying Amazon EC2 nodes to your cluster. *

That's not all though.  In order for that role to provision storage for prometheus, you need to create a custom policy that allows it access to create/destroy EC2 volumes.

I created the below policy, attached it to the EKSNodeRole, then deleted my prometheus-server pod.  When the pod started back up, everything kicked off like it was supposed to.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:CreateVolume",
                "ec2:DeleteVolume",
                "ec2:DetachVolume",
                "ec2:AttachVolume",
                "ec2:DescribeInstances",
                "ec2:CreateTags",
                "ec2:DeleteTags",
                "ec2:DescribeTags",
                "ec2:DescribeVolumes"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
