Can't spin up Refinery instance on AWS

[scottx611x]

This is prohibiting #993 from being tested

Commit: 8120b51

AWS Permissions:

AmazonRDSFullAccess
AmazonEC2FullAccess
AmazonS3FullAccess
AmazonSESFullAccess

Steps to reproduce

• Follow instructions from: https://github.com/parklab/refinery-platform/wiki/AWS-installation

Observed behavior

• The step: Spin up an RDS instance: fails for me with this error.

A client error (AccessDenied) occurred when calling the CreateDBInstance operation: User: arn:aws:iam::643366669028:user/scott is not authorized to perform: rds:CreateDBInstance on resource: arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:643366669028:db:rds-refinery

Expected behavior

• For this not to fail

thanks for testing! I haven't tried minimising by IAM account access, so on the one hand I'm not surprised that it doesn't work. On the other hand, that list of permissions looks very plausible.

Thanks for testing!

I think this might actually be that everyone needs to set a different name for their RDS (each RDS running in the AWS account needs a separate name). So I've changed the instructions; they now say to pick an RDS_NAME (this was possible before, just not so clearly required).

Closing as this was simply an issue with my env vars and boto dot-file being configured for another AWS account.
