C4W3: lab TFX error

When I try to open C4W3 lab I get an error saying: “Sorry, TFX on Google Cloud Vertex AI Pipelines is currently unavailable”. I seen that this was the issue in the past, but I couldn’t find any working solution to this.
Coursera support said that there is no option to pause the subscription. I am not sure if this issue happens from time to time and problem is on qwiklabs side or this is problem on my side, so I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Having the same issue. I contacted Coursera. They say it is an issue from Qwiklabs side. We need to contact Qwiklabs and the teaching staff for fixing this issue.

I contacted Qwiklabs and they acknowledged that this is ongoing issue, stating they’re working on a fix. Although I’m not very optimistic about a quick resolution, I would be happy to be proven wrong.
It’s frustrating that I can’t complete specialization just because of this lab. So, I guess the only solution is to wait for a fix that hopefully will be implemented and then pay for the course again to finish it.
Are the Coursera and Qwiklabs the only parties that can influence the resolution of this issue?

I’m having the same problem, when trying to start the graded app item “TFX on Google Cloud Vertex Pipelines” I get this error: “Sorry, TFX on Google Cloud Vertex AI Pipelines is currently unavailable.”

I have tryed many times during the last three days but it still does not work.

Thank you!

The lab seems to be working for me today after being blocked by the error described above for the last few days.

Did you upgrade subscription or it worked without any action from your end?

It worked without any action on my end.

I did contact qwiklabs a couple days ago and got the same response as @iljapavlov where they said they would email me when a fix was in place. I never got an email from them but when I tried the lab this morning it went to a working page.

I will say the lab does seem to still have some issues, setting up Google Cloud Storage Bucket froze for over an hour and required multiple notebook and lab restarts, but it finally worked in the end.

I am running the jupyternotebook but the pipeline is not being deployed. Anyone else with the same issue?
