AWS EKS Pods are unable to access any AWS Services SQS SNS S3 Redis

Created a new EKS cluster v 1.29 and everything started failing. The last one week, i'm trying to make this work but things were failing one by one.. Finally made the app running but none of the apps able to connect with other AWS services. Gone through all the documentation and tutorials but still no luck. The App primarily uses the below AWS services, S3, SQS, SNS, SES and Redis (through ElastiCache). I believe, i'm missing something for a big time but unable to figure it out. Below are my configuration..

1. Creating Cluster

eksctl create cluster --name=eks-cluster-1 --region=us-east-2 --version=1.29 --nodegroup-name=ng-101 --nodes=1 --nodes-max=1 --nodes-min=1 --instance-types=t2.large --asg-access --external-dns-access --full-ecr-access --alb-ingress-access --with-oidc --node-private-networking

2. Edit the configmap to add the current root user

kubectl edit configmap aws-auth -n kube-system

mapUsers: |
  - userarn: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxx:root
    groups:
    - system:masXXs

3. Create a namespace kubectl create namespace dev
4. Create ServiceAccount

apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: eks-admin-dev
  namespace: dev

5. Create RoleBinding

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: eks-admin-dev
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin-dev
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  name: eks-admin-dev
  namespace: dev

6. Created an IAM policy to attach with the ServiceAccount

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "sns:*",
                "cloudfront:*",
                "s3:*",
                "ses:*",
                "sqs:*",
                "elasticache:*"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

7. Executed the below statement to avoid the app unable to read from configMap.

kubectl create rolebinding default-edit --clusterrole=edit --serviceaccount=dev:default --namespace=dev

8. Add the Policy to the ServiceAccount Role

eksctl create iamserviceaccount --name eks-admin-dev --namespace dev --cluster eks-cluster-1 --role-name eksServiceAccountForDevNamespace \
    --attach-policy-arn arn:aws:iam::XXXXXX:policy/IamPolicyForEksServiceAccount-EksAdmin --override-existing-serviceaccounts --approve

9. Created the IAM identify Mapping for the Service Account

eksctl create iamidentitymapping --cluster eks-cluster-1 --region=us-east-2 --arn arn:aws:iam::XXXXX:role/eksServiceAccountForDevNamespace --group system:masXXs --username iwowdowd

10. Annotate the created IAM role to the ServiceAccount

kubectl annotate serviceaccount -n dev eks-admin-dev eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn=arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXX:role/eksServiceAccountForDevNamespace

10. When i tried to see whether the service account has the Role execute this: kubectl describe sa eks-admin-dev

Name:                eks-admin-dev
Namespace:           dev
Labels:              <none>
Annotations:         eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn: arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXX:role/eksServiceAccountForDevNamespace
Image pull secrets:  <none>
Mountable secrets:   <none>
Tokens:              <none>
Events:              <none>

11. At this point i have validated the OIDC and looked good to me.

oidc.eks.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/id/XXXXXXX

12. Then started deploying my app. The app service file

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: demo-service
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: demo-service
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: demo
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
spec:
  type: ClusterIP
  ports:
  - port: 80
    targetPort: http
    name: http
  selector:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: demo-service
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: demo

13. App Deployment Config

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: demo-service
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: demo-service
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: demo
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: helm
spec:
  strategy:
    type: RollingUpdate
    rollingUpdate:
      maxUnavailable: 1
      maxSurge: 1
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app.kubernetes.io/name: demo-service
      app.kubernetes.io/instance: demo
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app.kubernetes.io/name: demo-service
        app.kubernetes.io/instance: demo
    spec:
      serviceAccountName: eks-admin-dev
      containers:
      - name: demo-service
        image: ecr.XXXXXX
        imagePullPolicy: "Always"
        env:
        - name: SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE
          value: dev,kubernetes
        - name: APP_ENVIRONMENT
          value: dev
        ports:
        - name: http
          containerPort: 8080
          protocol: TCP
        livenessProbe:
          initialDelaySeconds: 60
          periodSeconds: 15
          failureThreshold: 6
          httpGet:
            path: /info
            port: http
        readinessProbe:
          initialDelaySeconds: 60
          periodSeconds: 15
          failureThreshold: 12
          httpGet:
            path: /info
            port: http

Any help will be appreciated! TIA
