An error occurred (InsufficientCapabilitiesException) when calling the CreateChangeSet operation: Requires capabilities : [CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM]

Add a flag to CloudFormation for IAM operations

This error means that a CloudFormation template you’re running has IAM resources in it. AWS lets you know and makes you acknowledge that you know by adding a special flag when you’re running an AWS CLI cloudformation deploy, create, or update command.

In my case this:

aws cloudformation deploy \
  --profile $profile \
  --stack-name $groupname \
  --template-file cfn/group_batch_job_admins.yaml \
  --parameter-overrides \
    groupnameparam=$groupname

Needed to become this:

aws cloudformation deploy \
  --profile $profile \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM \
  --stack-name $groupname \
  --template-file cfn/group_batch_job_admins.yaml \
  --parameter-overrides \
    groupnameparam=$groupname

You can find this flag in the documentation here:

Wait. How come AWS can use underscores in variable names and we can’t?

But I digress.

Follow for updates.
