Create EMR cluster error: "The instance profile for the newly created default role is not yet visible"

0

I use an IAM account to log in AWS console and want to create an EMR cluster. But when I click the "create cluster" button, it says: The cluster could not be created. The instance profile for the newly created default role is not yet visible. Wait a few seconds and try again.

Do I miss some permissions or did anything else cause this?

Thanks very much.

Hi duwan, It's more of a timing thing than anything else. After you create a role it might take several seconds for the permissions to propagate. Check out the following link and search for "several seconds for the permissions to propagate" to get to the relevant section... https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

Also look at the following link where the similar problem was encountered... https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/1885

There are two ways to solve the problem :-

  1. try creating the cluster again as it's a timing thing and you likely won't encounter the problem again.
  2. Create the default roles before you create the EMR cluster... https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/emr/create-default-roles.html

  • Thank you very much. I have already tried a lot of times and always the same error. Need I delete the created role before I try again?

  • When I use aws-cli to create EMR roles, it says "is not authorized to perform: iam:GetInstanceProfile". So I think it's because I do not have this permission.

  • @duwan, I would delete the created roles and re-create them. And looks like you don't have appropriate permissions ("iam:GetInstanceProfile").
