AWS Cloud Technical Essentials exercise: is it broken?

Question

Like a number of people I can't seem to get the EmployeeApp up and running on the freshly launched EC2 instance. User data for the launch includes the following line:

```
wget https://aws-tc-largeobjects.s3-eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/DEV-AWS-MO-GCNv2/FlaskApp.zip
```

I've ssh'd to the ec2 instance in question and running this command delivers the message "No such file or directory". It therefore doesn't seem surprising that the app doesn't run - though perhaps I haven't undersood something about how this is supposed to work.
The next stages of the course appear to reply on this app working. I am therefore prevented from continuing. Please advise!

Answer

Try changing it to the following S3 URL  
```
wget  https://aws-tc-largeobjects.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/DEV-AWS-MO-GCNv2/FlaskApp.zip
```

When I access the URL you provided, I am told to go to "aws-tc-largeobjects.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com".  
So I changed the URL to the one above and ran the "wget" command, which succeeded.
