  • SSH key pair for instance access
  • IAM role configured for marketplace entitlements

    • Next, on the permissions page, search for and attach the policy named AWSMarketplaceGetEntitlements.

    • Finally, complete the role creation process and attach this newly created role to your EC2 instance. This will grant the instance the necessary permissions to access its AWS Marketplace entitlements
