Hi, In the lab2 of course 2 week 3 (implementing monitoring with amazon cloudwatch), I am stuck at section 2. The lab requires terraform init → terraform plan → terraform apply. But, my terminal in vscode keeps crashing everytime I hit “terraform apply”. I have also tried the command from practice lab 1 (terraform apply -no-color 2\> errors.txt) and it hasn’t helped so far. I have attached a screenshot of the vscode in this topic. I would so much appreciate it if someone could help me out with this matter. ![Screenshot 2025-12-12 at 5.14.15 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dlai/original/3X/b/8/b89ab457771ceace0eed46766da4500fbd1d32a4.png) ---

I just got the same error message after restarting the lab, sometimes, ‘terraform apply’ leads to another error without crashing: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dlai/original/3X/d/8/d81d3e0116eddbf88e6b8d10e761e8e59b1e6447.png) Hope this can be solved soon. ---

I’m having the same problem Mohammad mentioned. Does anyone know how to fix it? ---
