How to run Tiller on Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS - kubernetes

Question

I created EKS Kubernetes cluster with terraform. It all went fine, cluster is created and there is one EC2 machine on it. However, I can't init helm and install Tiller there. All the code is on https://github.com/amorfis/aws-eks-terraform
As stated in README.md, after cluster creation I update ~/.kube/config, create rbac, and try to init helm. However, it's pod is still pending:
$> kubectl --namespace kube-system get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
coredns-7554568866-8mnsm 0/1 Pending 0 3h
coredns-7554568866-mng65 0/1 Pending 0 3h
tiller-deploy-77c96688d7-87rb8 0/1 Pending 0 1h
As well as other 2 coredns pods.
What am i missing?
