Asked By CuriousCoder92 On

Hey folks, I'm experimenting with AWS and accidentally deleted the CDKToolkit stack while trying to reset everything. I realized my mistake right after, but now I can't get it back. I deleted the entire stack along with the S3 bucket it was using. I've tried regenerating my access key, deleted my .aws credentials folder, and even reinstalled the CLI. However, I'm getting an error when I run 'cdk bootstrap': it says the security token is invalid, leading to a whole bunch of other errors. The final message I get is about the CDKToolkit stack failing to create and suggesting I might need to delete it manually. This is my first time setting up things in AWS, and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. I'm on Windows 11, by the way. Thanks in advance for any help!

Yeah, it definitely seems like your AWS credentials have timed out. Take a look at the end of your error message; it should give you a hint. Try refreshing your tokens. If you're using the Leapp program to manage your credentials, make sure it’s properly updating them. Deleting and recreating your profile should give you fresh access keys, and maybe that will solve the problem.

It sounds like you might be dealing with expired credentials. The 403 error usually points to issues with your AWS access tokens. You can check CloudFormation to find resources linked to the CDK toolkit stack. If necessary, you could remove them manually and delete the stack before trying to run the bootstrap command again. It’s a bit of a hassle, but it might be the way to go.
