I’m creating the EBS using terraform, but the lab fails with the message that the EBS wasn’t created using terraform, but it was.

Hi @matheus.rossi,

Could you please share more screenshot or main.tf file content? I’ve just checked it and it’s worked properly from my end.

Hi @raymond.baoly , I appreciate your reply.

In my post, I’ve attached the screenshot with the main.tf file. I’ve tried 2 times, both with the same error.

The error occurs for the third time. here is my .tfstate

      "instances": [

        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "check_results": null
}

The main.tf file:

resource "aws_ebs_volume" "xfusion-volume" {
  availability_zone = "us-east-1"
  size              = 2
  type              = "gp3"

  tags = {
    "name" = "xfusion-volume"
  }
}

regards.

Hi @matheus.rossi,

I tried again today and was still able to complete the task. Please see the screenshot below.

Hi,

The issue is that availability_zone was set to ‘us-east-1’, but it should be ‘us-east-1a’.

Thanks, @raymond.baoly. Adjusting the availability_zone worked perfectly. From my understanding, the API should throw an error when trying to create a zonal resource using a region. In any case, I really appreciate your help!

Hi @matheus.rossi,

Yeah, it should normally throw an error, but I think the API automatically picks a default zone, like us-west-2a.
