Description:
I tried to create an Open Edx Koa.1 instance following this page https://bitnami.com/stack/edx/cloud. However, I got stuck every time in "Create key pair 24%" and "Aws::EC2::Errors::AuthFailure : AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials".

Hi @max.smadt,

Thanks for using Bitnami. Can you tell us which AMI ID are you trying to deploy on AWS? I used the one below from our website and I was able to start a new instance without issues in the us-east-1 region

ami-039b9b5bea6c2db30

Can you also tell us which instance type were you trying to launch? Notice edX has big resource requirements, and you should use an instance with at least 6GB of free RAM memory to properly run it. I was able to launch a `t2.large` instance for testing, and I could SSH connect into it without issues

ssh bitnami@MY_IP_ADDRESS

Hi @gongomgra,

I tried to set it up in region AP-EAST-1 (Hong Kong) using a T3.large machine (8GB RAM, 2 vCPUs)
AMI ID: ami-0fc237e34a4535cfe

Hi @max.smadt,

Thanks for the info. I launched the same instance type in the same region using the same AMI ID and I was able to SSH to that machine without any issue. I also created a new key without any error. Can you check it with the AWS support team?
