Premise CodeDeploy Agent, session arn

Question

I'm setting up an on-premise CodeDeploy Agent.

The instructions [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/register-on-premises-instance-iam-session-arn.html#register-on-premises-instance-iam-session-arn-prerequisites) have an issue.

I completed Step 2: Generate temporary credentials for an individual instance using AWS STS

I'm trying Step3: Add a configuration file to the on-premises instance

The instructions say to use the iam-session-arn noted in Step 2.  However, there is no session arn to note in Step 2.  There's a session name, there's a role arn.  No session arn.

What is the session arn that is being referred to?

Accepted Answer

Use the role-arn.

My problem was my region was set to upper-case US-EAST-1, and was causing the error "Credential should be scoped to a valid region"  Once I set the region to be us-east-1.  The agent started working correctly.
