Project creation has failed. You are not authorized to perform this action: ec2:CreateVolume

Hello,

I’m trying to evaluate Dremio. I created a CF stack using from the marketplace and when I try to launch the project by connecting to the EC2 instance created by Dremio CF template, I get below error.

Creating Project
Creating S3 bucket
Completed creation of S3 bucket
Attaching S3 bucket to EC2
Completed S3 bucket attachment to EC2
Creating EBS
Deleting S3 bucket
Completed S3 bucket deletion
Project creation has failed. You are not authorized to perform this action: ec2:CreateVolume

I contacted our AWS team and they mentioned that this is because Dremio while creating the project, is not setting Ebs “Encrypted” : “true” as this is our company policy and would not allow to create volume unless “Encrypted” : “true” is set. Could you make changes to include this flag?

Thanks

Any replies to this please? I am facing the same issue. Do we have to login to the host to change settings in dremio.conf ?

Hi @Raja and @Muneer

Welcome to the Dremio Community!

In order to create a project with encrypted EBS volume, you can create a AWSE custom project.

https://docs.dremio.com/software/deployment/aws/aws-edition-creating-custom-project/

This is also mentioned on this previous forum here: AWS EFS Encryption - Custom Project

Hope this helps!
