I’m learning Terraform course ‘Learn DevOps: Infrastructure Automation With Terraform’ from Udemy. As per the exercise 'First steps in terraform - Spinning up an instance’ when i’m running ‘instance.tf’ i’m getting the below error.

Error: Error launching source instance: Unsupported: The requested configuration is currently not supported. Please check the documentation for supported configurations.
    status code: 400, request id: cbfbb2e8-35bd-4527-8da3-b59506c55b81

  on instance.tf line 7, in resource "aws_instance" "example":
   7: resource "aws_instance" "example" {

Here is my instance.tf file.

provider "aws" {
  access_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
  secret_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
  region     = "ap-south-1"
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  ami           = "ami-0e175be6acf8b637d"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
}

Please help.

For those coming here from google, this error usually means some resource option that you selected isn't available. In my case the selected region didn't have a "t2.micro" instance size. – cawwot

The code looks fine.

Please check if this AMI ami-0e175be6acf8b637d is exist in Asia Pacific region (Mumbai)

If not, you will get above error.

You can resolve this issue after correct AMI details.

Check the instance type on the region. On my case it did fail first but when i check the instance type I choose on the script, the instance type was not available on the region I specified. After changing the instance type it did work. Try it out

instance_type = "t3.micro" }
