CodeDeploy onpremise registration failing with AccessDeniedException on Amazon Lightsail

Question

aws deploy register-on-premises-instance --instance-name XXXXX --iam-user-arn arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXXX:user/LightSailCodeDeployUser --region ap-south-1

An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the RegisterOnPremisesInstance operation: User: arn:aws:sts::XXXXXXXXXXX:assumed-role/AmazonLightsailInstanceRole/i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX is not authorized to perform: codedeploy:RegisterOnPremisesInstance on resource: arn:aws:codedeploy:ap-south-1:XXXXXXXXXX:instance:XXXXXXXXXXXX

I didn't even create the role AmazonLightsailInstanceRole, then how did it come in the picture. My user have all permissions on codedeploy though. I am following this link to set up. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/using-aws-codedeploy-and-aws-codepipeline-to-deploy-applications-to-amazon-lightsail/

Answer 1

I made the same mistake and then realized that command is meant to be run on your local machine and not the instance!
