I am running into at least 2 issues at the moment.
Strigo does not have my e-mail on file from the course provider, so I am unable to create a lab environment. Strigo support said to talk to Elastic. Elastic told me work with Strigo. Elastic did create an instance for me to at least take one class. It appears Elastic did not provide Strigo with my e-mail address.
Using the Elastic created instance, I was able to start the ECE Fundamentals class. I live in the East Coast of USA and having difficulty connecting to the ECE stood up in EU-Central-1. Connecting takes a few attempts. But when I spin up a deployment, I cannot connect to Kibana due to timeouts. From my end, I have 431 down, 11.3 up and 13ms latency to NY per SpeedTest.
training@elastic.co did tell me they do not provide technical support and I should post here. Any help would be appreciated.
The Kibana timeout issue makes me think there is a networking problem. Could it be that something is blocking the Kibana network port (9243)? Are you connecting through a corporate proxy or VPN? If so, please disable those, or try connecting to Kibana from a device that does not use the proxy/VPN.
Another option could be related to step 17 in lab 2. Can you please validate that you have used the public IP there, instead of the private IP? If you'd use the private IP, you could also run into a timeout issue. Or maybe you've skipped that step? That would lead to the same error.
Notice that once you do get access to Kibana you may get a security warning. You can ignore that and proceed anyway.
My corporate connection is blocked, so I am using my home ISP. It is windows 10 fairly plain setup. A curl does take awhile to time out and I didn't see anything with netstat-aon or netsh firewall show state.
I resolve the IP and I tried both copying the endpoint as well as "Connect to Kibana", so I am fairly certain I am using the public address.
from your Kibana URL, it looks like your ECE instance is still using the private IP in the deployment endpoints. As Abdon mentioned above, please double check steps 16 and 17 from lab 2 to configure your ECE to use the public IP instead.
I also can't connect to the Public DNS you sent. Perhaps, did you stop the lab and resumed it later on? If your labs resumed, you probably got a new Public DNS that should be used instead.
I am unable to get back to where I was and/or start over. Very frustrating.
If I resume class it starts up the lab environment, but doesn't bring me back to the actual lesson plan. If I select start over, it skips over all the setup steps.
And the pasword for the elastic user doesn't work today in the public IP address.
That all aside, I still am unable to access the public address.
I can resolve, so fairly certain is public

And I am not blocking anything with Windows Firewall rules
C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh firewall show state
Firewall status:

IMPORTANT: Command executed successfully.
However, "netsh firewall" is deprecated;
use "netsh advfirewall firewall" instead.
For more information on using "netsh advfirewall firewall" commands
instead of "netsh firewall", see KB article 947709

And finally, I have a solid internet connection

Your Internet connection is very fast.
Your Internet connection should be able to handle multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing, and gaming at the same time.
Seems odd I can ping a private IP as shown above. I would have assumed it only exists from within ECE.
That aside, as I stated I couldn't get back to steps 16/17 in lab 2. Upon resuming or starting over the course, it was different. I even tried the one year version without success. Same for following the Kibana link in ECE.
To be honest, I gave up on this as a lost cause. I completed the course by reading/watching/answering without actually doing. Will cross my fingers and hope for the best on the next class.
