Step 5: Setting Up IAM Role for MediaConnect

 

Before starting the labs, we need to create an IAM Role for MediaConnect so it can create ENIs (Elastic Network Interfaces) in order to communicate privately with other resources in our VPC.

In contrast to the last step, we will use CloudFormation to create this role based on a CloudFormation template.

Download the following file: MediaConnectServiceRoleStack.yaml .

  1. In the search box, type CloudFormation.

    Click the CloudFormation icon to go to the AWS CloudFormation service page.
