Programming Assignment: Assignment 2: Building a Data Lakehouse with AWS Lake Formation and Apache Iceberg (original) (raw)

I’m currently working on Course 3, Week 2, Assignment Lab 2 in the Data Engineering course. However, I’m encountering multiple technical issues:

• The Jupyter notebook file is not opening at all.
• The AWS Glue jobs are not running or responding.
• The terminal provided in the lab environment is crashing frequently and becomes unusable after a short time.

Due to these issues, I’m unable to proceed with the assignment. Could you please restart or reset the lab environment for me?

Hello @payalsahu13,

I think other learners had similar issues in other posts you could check. When you try again the lab, the terraform files contain your saved work from a previous session. Since Coursera lab saves progress of the files you edited you can safely delete them, then use get latest version:

1. Create a new folder and move all current lab files to this folder (you can label the folder as old_files)
2. Click on lab help which is the question mark on the top right
3. Click on “Get the latest version”.

Afterwards you could try in a lab session and the environment should be fresh. If you have issues with jobs failing you could check AWS glue for the error you could fix that or it might need a lab refresh e.g. Insufficient Lake Formation. You could submit this form for a lab fresh. Hopefully your terminal is not crashing and you could terraform apply the extract/transform jobs and run them successfully. Thank you
