C4W4 Capstone Project Part 2 Assignment: stuck on AWS Console link creation

Course Q&A Data Engineering Data Modeling, Transformation, and Serving

Hello!
I am having trouble with the C4 W4 Assignment 2 - Capstone Project Part 2 - Data Quality and Orchestration, because I am stuck in the creation of the link to the AWS Console, which is always empty.

I have already requested two resets via the appropriate form, without receiving any response, and the link still does not work, even after trying to update and rebbot several times.

Already in the previous C4 W4 Assignment 1 - Capstone Project Part 1, I had significant problems with the creation of resources via Terraform, again with the creation of the link to the AWS Console and with the access permissions to the Lake Formation (not to mention further problems in other Labs, such as the one with Superset), which prevented me from completing the entire specialization within the monthly renewal deadline, forcing me to pay for another month, for reasons beyond my control.
Another deadline is approaching again and I find it very unpleasant to pay a second time for bugs or malfunctions of the course tests.

These last assignments are really frustrating, they waste huge amounts of time (because initially you think you have done something wrong) and require you to extend the end of the course, with extra payments not due.
I beg you, also on behalf of many other “fellow” students of mine, to definitively correct these problems, because they disqualify this really interesting introductory path on data engineering and the excellent work of Joe Reis and DeepLearning.AI.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

I am also facing same issues, filled forms two times for lab refresh but still same issues.

Hi @hawraa.salami,

@Stefano_Reali and @Atique10 are experiencing issues with the AWS Console link not working, and I’ve seen similar reports from other learners as well.

Could you please assist with this? Thanks so much!

@Stefano_Reali We did receive some reports from learners that the link to AWS does not open even after a lab refresh. We did investigate these accounts (including yours), and all is clean with those accounts. I’m still not sure why that’s happening. I tried to follow up with some of these learners, and it happens when they try again the lab, the link works. So I’m still trying to understand and I couldn’t reproduce that error for my account.

When you try the lab again, can you type this command:

cat /home/coder/vocapi_logger > vocapi_logger

you will see a link to AWS account, does this link work? I’ll follow up with additional things in a message for you. It will be easier for me to track that.

We are working on updating the last two capstones labs, the visualization part is optional but we identified the issue and we will fix it.
