Creating a new Role

Accessing the Foundation: Official AWS Website Navigation* Initiating the role creation process within the complex AWS ecosystem begins with the crucial first step of navigating to the revered and authoritative official website ie: https://aws.amazon.com/ provided by AWS.

Navigate the IAM dashboard * After logging in, access the IAM section in the left side of the AWS Management Console to manage roles, users, and permissions.

• For a time-saving approach, employ the search bar to access IAM directly, enabling seamless management of roles, users, and access policies.

• In the “Roles” section, click “Create role” to initiate the establishment of a new role in your AWS environment. Define permissions, access policies, and configurations to align with your specific needs and security practices.

Trusted entity & Use * After clicking “Create role,” choose the trusted entity—usually “AWS service”, especially for services like EC2.

• After selecting the trusted entity, the next step involves defining the use case for this role.
• Choose the “EC2” use case or service from the provided options.

• Grant permissions or policies for Amazon EKS clusters by selecting “EKS” (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service) from the list of available services or use cases. By choosing “EKS,” you’re specifying permissions and policies that govern access and actions within your Amazon EKS clusters.

• Select the checkbox next to the policies that align with the permissions required for the role.
• Click on the “Next” button once you’ve selected the desired policies.

• Review role configuration details, including trusted entity, use case (EC2 or EKS), and attached policies.
• Ensure permissions align with the role’s intended purpose. Click “Create role”, proceed directly to the next steps for role creation.

Verification of created role

• Check the “Roles” section for a list of configured roles in your AWS account. Verify the presence of your newly created role by examining the list; it should display the assigned name.

Deleting a Role in AWS IAM

• In the “Roles” section, find the role to delete, click its name for detailed information.
• Meticulously review attached policies to confirm the correct role.
• If confident, click “Delete role” to initiate the deletion, with AWS prompting confirmation.
• To proceed with deletion, type the exact name of the role into the confirmation box and click on the “Delete role” button once more.
• AWS will then initiate the deletion process. Upon successful completion, the role will be permanently removed from the list of roles within the IAM dashboard.
