Cannot start lab for Week 1 Assignment: Troubleshooting Database Connectivity on AWS

Course Q&A Data Engineering Source Systems, Data Ingestion, and Pipelines

I tried starting the lab for the Week 1 Assignment:
Troubleshooting Database Connectivity on AWS, the AWS status goes from red to yellow then back to red, thought this was an internet issue but I have done multiple speed tests and my internet works fine. I am not using a VPN so I am confused why this issue is coming up.

I saw in previous topic that a user also had a similar issue and a form was sent to fill, I tried going through with the form but at the final page of the form, where you will select the lab with issues, I couldn’t find this exact lab I am working on.

This is the link to the lab for further reference: Week 1 Assignment: Troubleshooting Database Connectivity on AWS

Please assist on this, thank you

Submitted the form. Will wait 2 days and try again. In the meantime, I’ll continue on with next week’s material and hopefully those will work.

@Georgios Thanks for checking! I was able to start the W2A1 without any issues, though it did require me to log out and then try again once. After that, no problems.

Thank you @Georgios and @damolavictor for reporting this issue!
Unfortunately, we discovered an issue with the database setup (due to version deprecation). This issue impacted this lab and all the labs of course 4. The team is working on fixing the issue. We expect to fix all the issues by January 17. We left a note about it in Coursera. We’ll keep you updated. Thank you for your patience! Apologies for any inconvenience!
