   Note: If you need to create a new IAM profile to execute the installer here is a template of a IAM policy that you could use to give the exact minimal permissions needed, replacing REGION and ACCOUNT_ID:

   { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "InstallerIdentityAndBase", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "sts:GetCallerIdentity", "ec2:DescribeRegions" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Sid": "EcrArtifactManagement", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ecr:CreateRepository", "ecr:GetAuthorizationToken", "ecr:DescribeRepositories", "ecr:BatchCheckLayerAvailability", "ecr:PutImage", "ecr:InitiateLayerUpload", "ecr:UploadLayerPart", "ecr:CompleteLayerUpload" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:ecr:REGION:ACCOUNT_ID:repository/liferay/dxp" ] }, { "Sid": "FullInfrastructureManagement", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "eks:*", "iam:*", "kms:*", "logs:*", "ec2:*", "autoscaling:*", "elasticloadbalancing:*", "s3:*" ], "Resource": "*" } ] }

15. To determine when the DXP application is up and running, in the AMI instance terminal, execute the following commands:

    cd ~/terraform/dependencies kubectl rollout status statefulset/liferay-default \ --namespace "$(terraform output -raw deployment_namespace)" \ --timeout=1200s

16. To access the Liferay DXP UI, first get the hostname of the load balancer:

    kubectl \ get \ ingress \ liferay-default \ --namespace "${namespace}" \ --output jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}')

17. Now navigate to the https://${hostname} provided to complete the Liferay DXP setup wizard.
