Week 3 Practice Lab 2 IAM issues

Course Q&A Data Engineering Data Storage and Queries
1

I’m trying to complete the second practice lab of week 3: Streaming Queries with Apache Flink

After following the instructions on Vocareum, creating the aws environment and trying to create the Cloud9 environment, I get:

You don’t have the permission required to perform this operation. Ask your administrator to give you permissions.

and

User: arn:aws:sts::381491892328:assumed-role/voclabs/user3527024=Miguel_Alonso is not authorized to perform: cloud9:CreateEnvironmentEC2 on resource: * because no identity-based policy allows the cloud9:CreateEnvironmentEC2 action

Hello @Miguel_Alonso
I just tried the lab, and it seems to be working fine. These kinds of problems happen when there is a mismatch between the template you are using to create your Cloud9 environment and the one described in the lab.
Can you, please, make sure that you are choosing everything correctly? Specifically, the subnet, which should be de-c3w3lab2-**public**-subnet-a, and the instance type, which should be t3.medium.

Hi Amir, That was it!

I was so used to pick a t3.small that even when repeating the process a couple of times I didn’t notice that change.

Thanks!
