AWS Lambda:The provided execution role does not have permissions to call DescribeNetworkInterfaces on EC2

Question

Today I have a new AWS Lambda question, and can\'t find anywhere in Google.

I new a Lambda function, there is no question. But when I input any code in this function[eg.

Answer 1

Here's a quick and dirty way of resolving the error.

Open IAM on AWS console, select the role that's attached to the Lambda function and give it the EC2FullAccess permission.

This will let you update the Lambda VPC by granting EC2 control access. Be sure to remove the permission from the role, the function still runs.

Is it more or less secure than leaving some permissions attached permanently? Debatable.
