Hi,

Trying to launch controller and getting error

╷ │
Error launching source instance: InvalidParameterCombination: The specified instance type is not eligible for Free Tier. For a list of Free Tier instance types, run 'describe-instance-types' with the filter 'free-tier-eligible=true'. │ status code: 400, request id: 47ae241e-41e5-4bfe-b879-55fd1726dd94 │ │ with module.aviatrix_controller_aws.module.aviatrix_controller_build.aws_instance.aviatrix_controller, │ on .terraform/modules/aviatrix_controller_aws/modules/aviatrix-controller-build/main.tf line 120, in resource "aws_instance" "aviatrix_controller": │ 120: resource "aws_instance" "aviatrix_controller" { │ ╵ --> Controller launch failed, aborting.

 

I have selected t3.micro instance type as suggested in documentation

​@Jaydeep Sandbox Starter has reached EOL. If you’re looking to deploy the Aviatrix platform only, please visit https://launch.aviatrix.com/. If you’re using it as a prerequisite to the ACE Automation training (IaC), please wait until the new version of the training is released on Thursday, August 6th. The new version no longer has the Sandbox Starter requirement.
