Cloudformation模板为SQS创建角色

Question

I am trying to create a role with embedded policy using cloudformation template :

{
"AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
"Resources": {
  "SQSRole": {
     "Type": "AWS::IAM::Role",
     "Properties": {
        "AssumeRolePolicyDocument": {
           "Version" : "2012-10-17",
           "Statement": [ {
              "Effect": "Allow",
              "Principal": {
                 "Service": [ "sqs.amazonaws.com" ]
              },
              "Action": [
                    "SQS:SendMessage",
                    "SQS:ReceiveMessage",
                    "SQS:DeleteMessage",
                    "SQS:GetQueueUrl"
                ]
           } ]
        },
        "Path": "/"
        }
  },
  "RootInstanceProfile": {
     "Type": "AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile",
     "Properties": {
        "Path": "/",
        "Roles": [ {
           "Ref": "SQSRole"
        } ]
     }
  }
}
}

It gives an error " Invalid principal in policy: "SERVICE":"sqs.amazonaws.com".

I also tried by replacing exact URL of SQS queue : "SERVICE":"sqs.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/710161973367/CFI-Trace"

Still it gives same error. Not sure what service to specify for sqs.

If you're trying to create an IAM role to be assumed by an EC2 instance, you should use this instead:

{
  "AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
  "Resources": {
    "SQSRole": {
      "Type": "AWS::IAM::Role",
      "Properties": {
        "AssumeRolePolicyDocument": {
          "Version": "2012-10-17",
          "Statement": [
            {
              "Effect": "Allow",
              "Principal": {
                "Service": [
                  "ec2.amazonaws.com"
                ]
              },
              "Action": [
                "sts:AssumeRole"
              ]
            }
          ]
        },
        "Path": "/",
        "Policies": [
          {
            "PolicyName": "SqsAccess",
            "PolicyDocument": {
              "Version": "2012-10-17",
              "Statement": [
                {
                  "Sid": "1",
                  "Effect": "Allow",
                  "Action": [
                    "SQS:SendMessage",
                    "SQS:ReceiveMessage",
                    "SQS:DeleteMessage",
                    "SQS:GetQueueUrl"
                  ],
                  "Resource": [
                    "*"
                  ]
                }
              ]
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    },
    "RootInstanceProfile": {
      "Type": "AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile",
      "Properties": {
        "Path": "/",
        "Roles": [
          {
            "Ref": "SQSRole"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Note that the service that will assume your IAM role is now ec2.amazonaws.com . Also, the EC2 service is now only allowed to assume your IAM role (via sts:AssumeRole ). Finally, all your sqs:* Actions have been moved into the IAM Role's Policies attribute.
