Can't complete the final assignment (Week 4 - Assignment 3) due crashing and errors

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m reaching out for some help regarding the final assignment (Week 4- Assignment 3) for our course. Unfortunately, I’ve been facing persistent crashes and errors while trying to complete.

Specifically, I encounter issues when attempting to run the Terraform setup for the vector database in the second step. I’ve made several attempts to resolve this by reporting the errors, restarting my system, and updating my files, but the crashes continue.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance from those who might have faced similar issues.

You can submit the response form to reset the lab or wait 2 hours for it to reset on AWS account

I do have a solution but it might confuse you.

When you put in terraform plan (after terraform init), check the logs in the terminal. Each one will list the AWS applications that you (will) deploy from Terraform. Based on the list, you can go to your AWS console - and proceed to delete all relevants AWS resources that deployed - AWS subnet groups, rds connection, vector-db rds. Make sure you check terraform list in the terminal (things that you will add) and proceed from there. I was able to re-apply and created vector-db resources in tf. I checked terraform documentation, seems to me they dont have a setting, where you can skip ‘apply’ on exisiting resource. i might be wrong, but i have basic knowledge on terraform
