Unable to create EKS Cluster

Question

Dears,

I am not able to create a EKS service using my account.

[https://eu-central-1.console.aws.amazon.com/eks/home?region=eu-central-1#/cluster-create] (EKS Create cluster)

As there is a role needed for EKS Management, I created the role using the documentation beneath.

[https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/service_IAM_role.html#create-service-role] (Create EKS Role)

After the role creation, I am navigating back to the Cluster creation page, but the role which was created using this guide is not visible and not selectable in the drop down menu.

Hi!

As far as I can understand in your question, you are trying to create a EKS Cluster with the role in the documentation. Perhaps the  user that you have doesn't have the policy that you have created in its group permissions. A role can be assosiated to an AWS Services, not users.

I can recommend you to use eksctl and kubectl to create the cluster as this link [1] below says.
Also, you can ask to your IAM administrator to add the policy [2] in the permissions that you have.

Hope this help you.
