RAM resource share issues.

10/09/2023

RAM (Resource Access Manager) is an AWS service that allows you to share AWS resources across AWS accounts. If you're experiencing issues with RAM resource shares, here are some common problems and potential solutions:

  1. Permission Errors:
    • Problem: Users encounter errors when trying to create or accept resource shares due to insufficient permissions.
    • Solution: Ensure that the IAM policies attached to the users have the necessary permissions for RAM actions. Verify that the policy includes permissions for ram:CreateResourceShare and ram:AssociateResourceShare.
  2. Resource Share Creation Failures:
    • Problem: You're unable to create a resource share.
    • Solution: Check if there are any conflicting resources or if the resources you're trying to share meet the requirements for being shared (some resources might not be shareable).
  3. Resource Not Found:
    • Problem: You're encountering an error indicating that the specified resource doesn't exist.
    • Solution: Double-check that the resource you're trying to share or associate with a resource share actually exists and is in the correct AWS account.
  4. Resource Share Deletion Failures:
    • Problem: You're unable to delete a resource share.
    • Solution: Verify that there are no associated resources still using the share. Ensure that no resources are using the share before attempting to delete it.
  5. Limits Exceeded:
    • Problem: You've reached the maximum allowed resource shares for your AWS account.
    • Solution: Check your AWS account limits for RAM resource shares. If you need more shares, you can request a limit increase through the AWS Support Center.
  6. Invalid Principal:
    • Problem: You're getting an error indicating that the specified AWS account or organization doesn't exist.
    • Solution: Verify that you've correctly specified the AWS account IDs or AWS organization IDs when creating the resource share.
  7. Cross-Account Access Issues:
    • Problem: Resources in a shared resource group can't be accessed by the sharing account.
    • Solution: Ensure that the sharing account has the necessary permissions to access the shared resources. This may involve setting up cross-account IAM roles.
  8. Resource Unavailability:
    • Problem: Shared resources are not available in the recipient account.
    • Solution: Check if the resources are correctly shared and that there are no issues with the recipient account's permissions.
  9. Networking and VPC Issues:
    • Problem: You're trying to share resources in a VPC, but there are networking issues.
    • Solution: Verify that the necessary VPC peering, Direct Connect, VPN, or other networking configurations are in place.

If you've tried these solutions and are still experiencing issues, it's recommended to consult the AWS documentation for RAM or contact AWS Support for further assistance. They can provide specialized help for your specific situation.
