Minimum Amazon S3 policy for private subnet

For private subnets, at a minimum you must provide the ability for Amazon EMR to access Amazon Linux repositories. This private subnet policy is a part of the VPC endpoint policies for accessing Amazon S3. With Amazon Amazon EMR 5.25.0 or later, to enable one-click access to persistent Spark history server, you must allow Amazon EMR to access the system bucket that collects Spark event logs. If you enable logging, provide PUT permissions to a aws157-logs-* bucket. For more information, see One-click access to persistent Spark History Server.

It is up to you to determine the policy restrictions that meet your business needs. For example, you can specify the Region packages.us-east-1.amazonaws.com to avoid an ambiguous Amazon S3 bucket name. The following example policy provides permissions to access Amazon Linux repositories and the Amazon EMR system bucket for collecting Spark event logs. Replace MyRegion with the Region where your log buckets reside, for example us-east-1.

The following example policy provides the permissions required to access Amazon Linux 2 repositories. Amazon Linux 2 AMI is the default.

           	"arn:aws:s3:::amazonlinux.MyRegion.amazonaws.com/*",
           	"arn:aws:s3:::amazonlinux-2-repos-MyRegion/*"
           ]
       }
   ]
