EKS Cluster creation fails with 'Cross-account pass role is not allowed.'

Reason:

This error happens if the AWS Cloud Account you have chosen at the time of cluster creation is different from the one where the cluster role and the node pool roles were created.

Resolution:

Delete the cluster and recreate it by choosing the right AWS Account.
