Create a Pulumi Template to Create an Aim Role

Creating an IAM Role with Pulumi

In this guide, we will create an IAM Role using Pulumi and AWS. The IAM Role is a critical component in AWS that allows you to define a set of permissions for making AWS service requests. This template will help you set up an IAM Role with the necessary policies.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Install Pulumi and AWS SDK

Ensure you have Pulumi and the AWS SDK installed. You can install them using npm:

npm install -g pulumi
npm install @pulumi/aws

Step 2: Create a New Pulumi Project

Create a new Pulumi project if you don’t already have one:

pulumi new aws-typescript

Step 3: Define the IAM Role

In your index.ts file, add the following code to define the IAM Role:

import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const role = new aws.iam.Role("myRole", {
    assumeRolePolicy: {
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [
            {
                Action: "sts:AssumeRole",
                Effect: "Allow",
                Sid: "",
                Principal: {
                    Service: "ec2.amazonaws.com",
                },
            },
        ],
    },
});

const policy = new aws.iam.RolePolicy("myRolePolicy", {
    role: role.id,
    policy: {
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [
            {
                Action: "ec2:Describe*",
                Effect: "Allow",
                Resource: "*",
            },
        ],
    },
});

export const roleName = role.name;

Step 4: Deploy the Stack

Run the following command to deploy your stack:

pulumi up

Summary

In this guide, we created an IAM Role using Pulumi and AWS. We defined the role with an assume role policy and attached a policy to allow certain actions. This template can be modified to suit your specific needs.

For more details, refer to the Pulumi AWS IAM Role documentation.

Full Code Example

import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const role = new aws.iam.Role("myRole", {
    assumeRolePolicy: {
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [
            {
                Action: "sts:AssumeRole",
                Effect: "Allow",
                Sid: "",
                Principal: {
                    Service: "ec2.amazonaws.com",
                },
            },
        ],
    },
});

const policy = new aws.iam.RolePolicy("myRolePolicy", {
    role: role.id,
    policy: {
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [
            {
                Action: "ec2:Describe*",
                Effect: "Allow",
                Resource: "*",
            },
        ],
    },
});

export const roleName = role.name;
