Folks the second part of the lab doesnt work because awsstudent doesnt have permisisons to create IAM resources. In fact you cant read. You need to provide IAM so the following code in the templates will work: "Resources" : { "WebServerUser" : { "Type" : "AWS::IAM::User", "Properties" : { "Path": "/", "Policies": [{ "PolicyName": "root", "PolicyDocument": { "Statement":[{ "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "cloudformation:DescribeStackResource" ], "Resource": "*" }]} }] } }, "WebServerKeys" : { "Type" : "AWS::IAM::AccessKey", "Properties" : { "UserName" : {"Ref": "WebServerUser"} } },

awsstudent has no permission to create IAM user. It causes CloudFormation template to fail the stack and cannot proceed to the lab procedures.

It fails when trying to create the 2nd stack. The template is not correct. The instructions do not match the create stack screen flow.
