🛠️ Infrastructure Maintenance: Lab Availability Update

Course Q&A Data Engineering
1

Hello Data Engineering Learners,

UPDATE (7 Jan 2025): ALL labs should be working now. Thank you for your patience

We are currently experiencing a service disruption with our external cloud infrastructure providers. Unfortunately, this issue is impacting the majority of our lab environments, and we are aware that almost all labs are currently not working.

Please be patient as we monitor the situation and work closely with our providers to restore full functionality as quickly as possible.

Current Lab Status:

While most labs are down, the following are confirmed to be working correctly:

  • C2W1 Lab 1

  • C3W3 Assignment

Stay Updated:

Please follow this thread for real-time updates. We will post an announcement here as soon as the infrastructure is fully restored.

Thank you for being a valued member of our community!

Best regards,

Community Coordinator

Note that similar AWS issues are being reported in the “Generative AI with LLM’s” course on Coursera.

for those unable to finish the specialization due to this issue, how will this pause be addressed if their subscription deadline is near? any compensation will be provided?

I am actually continuing with the whole course by skipping labs for now in the data engineering course as I always spend only one month to finish specialization course nothing more. So once labs are fixed I can go back and finish them. Started Data Engineering course on January 1st so hopefully by 31st I can finish it.

I think we should get an extension for the course automatically. It is bad as we often learn during the hoildays.

Hi there, any status of the infrastructure maintenance?
