AWS Developer LoadBalancer Lab : Problem with Certificate (from ACM)

Cloud AWS
#1

Hi Rob and co,
I’m doing the " AWS Certified Developer - Associate" course and am stuck on the ALB Load balancer lab.
The main problem being, I’m asked to provide a Certificate from ACM and when I click on "Request new ACM Certificate, I get a security error stating I’m not allowed to perform this action, thus I can’t complete the Lab to see the ALB in action.
Could the Lab be updated to include such certificate?

In the solution it doesn’t mention this step at all. Is the lab out of date?
How do I bypass this error?

Thanks @elvy

I see the issue. I’ll forward it to the team and keep you updated.

Thanks Raymond,

Also many of the AWS services are not available on the AWS playgrounds.
I keep running into security errors stating I don’t have the privileges to create
such resources. So to get the practice, I’m contemplating using my own AWS
account but that would mean I’m paying extra premiums for nothing.

I’m on the pro plan and at the moment
it doesn’t feel like I’m getting enough value for money.

Hi Elvy,

Please refer to the Playground mini-FAQ. I hope the explanation there helps resolve your issue:

Hi Raymond,
That’s useful to know but the restrictions are strange as much of the aws lectures for example on DynamoDB I can’t practice as I don’t have the permissions to create such resources. Yet these resources are being taught.
So how am I suppose to practice?
