In the last post I created AWS Batch roles and policies with CloudFormation.

What is strange is that I basically copied the policies from the AWS IAM console that the AWS Batch and ECS documentation claims it uses and I’m getting errors.

The only two permissions I took out was the ability to create new Service-Linked roles and the ability to call a Chinese service endpoint. The latter should not be required since the US-based or other regional endpoints should work for whatever reason that endpoint exists in the documentation. The error messages do not relate to Service Linked Roles as far as I can tell.
