The role defined for the function cannot be assumed by Lambda

Question

I\'m getting the error \"The role defined for the function cannot be assumed by Lambda\" when I\'m trying to create a lambda function with create-function command.

Answer 1

Most people end up in this error because of giving the wrong Role ARN in CloudFormation while creating the Lambda Function.

Make sure the role is completed first by using "DependsOn" and use the intrinsic function """{ "Fn::GetAtt" : [ "your-role-logical-name", "Arn" ] }"""
