Hi everyone! All labs hosted on Vocareum (i.e. labs that use AWS) in this Specialization can’t be completed because of an ongoing issue. This applies to both Coursera and the DeepLearning.AI learning platform. Until it is fixed, you will get a ‘course access forbidden’ message, an empty link to AWS …

Is there an expected timeline on when this is getting fixed

last time it took guys about a week to fix the issue :person_shrugging: however these labs are really worth waiting for

Yeah, I’m more concerned about my coursera renewal tbh

Does this also apply to C4W1 lab? I ask this because I get a URL, but nothing happens when clicking on it.

Yes. This applies to all labs that use AWS.

3 days without fix? any date to fix?

can i restart my 7 dat trial when it is fixed?

[image] Pallavi_Pandey: any updates? Yes, see the reply on this thread from 7 hours ago.
