I don't have a response to share but I always lose my mind when I see AWS error messages, especially when using bazillion layers like CDK for Terraform, executed from the shell script that runs a python script in the CI/CD pipeline.
One of the issues I will never forget was the debugging of permission issue. Dev reported an issue, something like "cannot access the SQS queue from a recently deployed script". The error message was like "cannot access the queue due to missing policy in assumed role" (or something similar). So, I have checked the python script and related policies - all good. Next I've moved to a shell script, still no luck. After that I went through the CDK files, no issues. I was about to involve the AWS support when it turned out that the queue name has been changed manually in the AWS console. AWS, instead of point out that the queue is missing, raised an error about missing access permissions...
Ugh, poor error reporting is such a frustrating time sink.
