Hey @Hannah, can you post your the error log?

Hey @Kalgi, I've updated my answer with the error log

Can you check how many VPC's have been created in that particular zone?

---

There are 5 in the zone i'm working on

Ahh, now I get what the problem is. So you're only allowed to have 5 vpcs per zone and it wont create until you delete one of them. So try deleting one of the vpc that you're not using and then create the cluster.

I'll try deleting the vpc not in use and let you know if it works

Answer 1

By default AWS only allows 5 vpcs per zone and you already have 5 vpcs. It wouldn't be able to create another one. Either delete an existing vpc not in use or change the zone you're working on. Let me know if it works:)
