E.g. provide a sample policy people can use to create an user and policy in the AWS console.

As a starting point, here's an access policy for EC2, IAM roles, and S3. I've tried to restrict it so it can only access NixOps-created resources which have the default charon-* resource names. The policy works for basic NixOps usage but probably not nixops backup or the other AWS resources NixOps can provision.

This is huge! Deploying to EC2 for the first time is super complicated. Having a policy would go a long way to making this easier.
