}AWS credentials not found or authentication failure
Run `aws configure` to set access keys. Verify AWS_PROFILE matches profile in ~/.aws/credentials. Test with `aws sts get-caller-identity` command to confirm authentication.
IAM permissions denied for specific AWS service operations
Attach required IAM policy (AmazonEC2FullAccess, AmazonS3FullAccess, etc). Use AWS Policy Simulator to test permissions. Verify principal has necessary actions in IAM policy document.
Resources not found - wrong AWS region configured
Verify AWS_REGION environment variable matches resource location (us-east-1, eu-west-1, etc). Update with `aws configure set region REGION_NAME`. Check region in AWS Console matches CLI.
CloudFormation template validation errors or syntax issues
Validate with `aws cloudformation validate-template --template-body file://template.yaml`. Check resource types match AWS documentation exactly. Verify parameter types and AllowedValues constraints.
API throttling or RequestLimitExceeded errors
Implement exponential backoff for retries (wait 2^n seconds). Reduce concurrent requests to max 10. Request service quota increase at AWS Service Quotas console for sustained high usage.
