Note: If you are using inline policy or basic authentication, then you must update the policy with the relevant IAM service. For more information, see Minimum Permissions Required for Inline Policies and Basic Authentication.

These are the minimum permissions that are required to acquire traffic using VPC mirroring and authenticate using an IAM instance role.
