Hi @rwobben
I’ve just checked, and it’s working properly on my end. Please try again and use availability_zone = “us-east-1a”.

with availability_zone = “us-east-1a” is it working
So I think the text in the challenge needs to be adapted because there is stated
availability_zone = “us-east-1”
@rwobben one difference that I see is the value that you’ve passed for the availability_zone field.
Each Region has multiple, isolated locations known as Availability Zones . The code for an Availability Zone is its Region code followed by a letter identifier. For example, us-east-1a .
Have you checked if the ebs volume got created in the first place after running terraform apply?

# 🌟 Task 9 - Create EBS Volume Using Terraform
## 📌 Task Description
The **Nautilus DevOps team** is strategizing the migration of a portion of their infrastructure to the **AWS cloud**. Recognizing the scale of this undertaking, they have opted to approach the migration in incremental steps rather than as a single massive transition. To achieve this, they have segmented large tasks into smaller, more manageable units.
This granular approach enables the team to execute the migration in gradual phases, ensuring smoother implementation and minimizing disruption to ongoing operations. By breaking down the migration into smaller tasks, the Nautilus DevOps team can systematically progress through each stage, allowing for better control, risk mitigation, and optimization of resources throughout the migration process.
**Requirements:**
- Name of the volume should be **`devops-volume`**
- Volume type must be **`gp3`**
- Volume size must be **`2 GiB`**
- Ensure the volume is created in **`us-east-1`**
- The Terraform working directory is **`/home/bob/terraform`**
- Create the **`main.tf`** file (do not create a different .tf file)
👉 **Your task:** Create an EBS volume using Terraform to provide persistent block storage for EC2 instances during the infrastructure migration.
💡 **Note:** EBS volumes provide durable, high-performance block storage that can be attached to EC2 instances.
