I believe there’s an issue with this one as you can clearly see the main.tf file and that the ID was referenced from the previously created volume, and that the “status” was “Completed”.
Hi @besnija,
It’s working properly on my end. Please make sure the snapshot’s name and description are correct.
Create a snapshot of an existing volume named devops-vol in us-east-1 region using terraform.
-
The name of the snapshot must be
devops-vol-ss. -
The description must be
Devops Snapshot. -
Make sure the snapshot status is
completedbefore submitting the task.

This is completely bugged…
Hi @besnija,
I still can’t reproduce the issue on my side. I also don’t see any problems with your code. Could you please try again? I don’t think it is a persistent issue.
Hello @raymond.baoly I just tried again without the data and output resource by simply mimicking what you stated in your screenshot, and following the instructions provided but without success. Is there a way to bypass this?
I cannot “skip” this one and get new tasks sadly and I would like to continue my training 
Hi @besnija,
Could you please record a video showing the issue? I think it might only be happening with your account.
Hello @raymond.baoly I’ve uploaded the video to my GDrive, and you should be able to access and view it here.
Looking forward to your response.
Hi @besnija
I finally figured out why it failed. You used the wrong tag name, the display name tag for the snapshot should be ‘Name’ with a capital ‘N’, not ‘name’. Please try again.

Hello @raymond.baoly thank you very much for the solution!
It doesn’t really make much sense but whatever works is good enough
