Getting access denied on cloud-bosh-artifacts.s3.amazonaws.com

Question

I am trying to deploy micro bosh in EC2 as per http://docs.cloudfoundry.com/docs/running/deploying-cf/ec2/

I am getting (AWS::S3::Errors::AccessDenied) when executing bosh aws create

Also URL http://cloud-bosh-artifacts.s3.amazonaws.com/ returns the following:

<Error><Code>AccessDenied</Code>
  <Message>Access Denied</Message>
  <RequestId>zzzzzzzz</RequestId>
  <HostId>xxxxxxxxx</HostId>
</Error>

Is there any obvious bit of configuration that I am missing?

Thanks

Michal

I just ran into this issue when following the same guide. It turns out that the issue is that the S3 bucket that is created (which generates its name from the BOSH_VPC_SUBDOMAIN you created in the bosh_environment file) has to be unique.

Changing that subdomain to something very specific should get the process rolling again.
