vpc-classic-v1.2.1.template issues

[PerryK]

So I deployed this template exactly as described on the site. I kept all the default pre-populated settings where possible and used my own S3 buckets. Tried it both with and without nat gateways. This is with 3 AZ in us-east-1. 

All the AWS artifacts get created, the nested stack gets created, but the firewalls do not! 

I checked the logs from the lambda and the only error in init.py that I see is :

An error occurred (NoSuchKey) when calling the GetObject operation: The specified key does not exist.

The bucket is in the same region. I've populated all the required files as per the article.

Apparently the error is not related. I deleted the stack and re-created it exactly the same way and this time it create the firewalls. Go figure.

OK, Upon further investigation I didn't choose all the default values. The firewalls weren't being created because their instance type isn't supported by AWS Market place. The template lists 2 instance types as allowed parameters that shouldn't be there and also is missing 2 instance types that should be allowed.

Instance types that should be removed as not supported.

c3,xlarge and c4.xlarge

Instance types that should be added.

c3.8xlarge and c4.8xlarge

Thanks for the information Perry and I am happy to hear you have it working now. We will take a look at the template and instance types and make any necessary changes. Thanks again and take care.
