Our ops team has created temporary buckets that we can only use those to deploy to. I set the bucket name under provider:
provider:
name: aws
runtime: nodejs4.3
stage: dev
region: us-west-2
deploymentBucket: tech-30day-retention
However, when i try to deploy I get error:
Serverless: Packaging service…
Serverless: Uploading CloudFormation file to S3…
Serverless: Uploading service .zip file to S3 (10.06 MB)…
Serverless: Creating Stack…
Serverless Error ---------------------------------------
```
TemplateURL must reference a valid S3 object to which
you have access.

Stack Trace --------------------------------------------

You need to have GetObject permissions on your deployment role. The following policy cleared this error up for me.
```
- Effect: Allow
Action:
- 's3:GetObject'
Resource:
Fn::Join:
- ''
- - 'arn:aws:s3:::'
- ${bucketName}
- '/serverless/*'
```
