Terraform error configuring AWS provider backend issue

i've had this issue in terraform with backend configuration. I am getting this error when running Terraform plan.

Error: error configuring Terraform AWS Provider: no valid credential sources for Terraform AWS Provider found. │ │ Please see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws │ for more information about providing credentials. │ │ Error: failed to refresh cached credentials, no EC2 IMDS role found, operation error ec2imds: GetMetadata, request send failed, Get "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/": dial tcp 169.254.169.254:80: i/o timeout

 with provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws"].west,

│ on providers.tf line 5, in provider "aws": │ 5: provider "aws" { │ ╵

Here is the code, there are no google pages to help with this error. I will appreciate any help and I'm forever grateful thanks

terraform {
  `enter code here`backend "remote" {

Solution

  • Can you use your AWS CLI to connect to your AWS account? like listing your AWS s3 buckets? based on the error I think you didn't configure your AWS by doing aws configure on your CLI. which will require you to have an access key id and secret for the setup.
