Module 2 Terraform: "Error creating launch configuration: UnsupportedOperation"

[ic32k]

Hello,

Yesterday installed AWSGoat module1 without issues, but today I wanted to run the module2 and this error is shown at Terraform run:

aws_ecs_service.worker: Creation complete after 1s [id=arn:aws:ecs:us-east-1:318030154911:service/ecs-lab-cluster/ecs_service_worker] ╷ │ Error: Error creating launch configuration: UnsupportedOperation: The Launch Configuration creation operation is not available in your account.

Change this:

resource "aws_launch_configuration" "ecs_launch_config" {
  image_id             = data.aws_ami.ecs_optimized_ami.id
  iam_instance_profile = aws_iam_instance_profile.ecs-instance-profile.name
  security_groups      = [aws_security_group.ecs_sg.id]
  user_data            = data.template_file.user_data.rendered
  instance_type        = "t2.micro"
}

resource "aws_autoscaling_group" "ecs_asg" {
  name                 = "ECS-lab-asg"
  vpc_zone_identifier  = [aws_subnet.lab-subnet-public-1.id]
  launch_configuration = aws_launch_configuration.ecs_launch_config.name
  desired_capacity     = 1
  min_size             = 0
  max_size             = 1
}

For this:

resource "aws_launch_template" "ecs_launch_template" {
  name_prefix            = "ecs-lab-launch-template-"
  image_id               = data.aws_ami.ecs_optimized_ami.id
  instance_type          = "t2.micro"
  iam_instance_profile {
    name                = aws_iam_instance_profile.ecs-instance-profile.name
  }
  vpc_security_group_ids     = [aws_security_group.ecs_sg.id]
  
  # Encode the user_data in base64
  user_data              = base64encode(data.template_file.user_data.rendered)
}

resource "aws_autoscaling_group" "ecs_asg" {
  name                   = "ECS-lab-asg"
  vpc_zone_identifier    = [aws_subnet.lab-subnet-public-1.id]
  desired_capacity       = 1
  min_size               = 0
  max_size               = 1

  # Reference the launch template instead of the launch configuration
  launch_template {
    id                   = aws_launch_template.ecs_launch_template.id
    version              = "$Latest"
  }
}
