AWS-RunShellScript cloud-init permissions denied

[justas200]

Hello,

I am trying to run cloud-init init command using aws ssm send-command:

aws ssm send-command \
  --document-name AWS-RunShellScript \
  --comment 'Re-run cloud-init due to IP count change' \
  --targets Key=instanceIds,Values=<INSTANCE_ID>\
  --parameters commands='["cloud-init init"]' \
  --region ap-northeast-1

However I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/cmd/main.py\", line 936, in status_wrapper
    ret = functor(name, args)

    os.kill(pid, signal.SIGKILL)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

whoami returns root user. I am stuck and not sure what is wrong. If I ssh to the instance and run this command directly it works.

Best regards
