AWS quickstart - Cloudformation failure

When deploying your workspace with the recommended AWS quickstart method, a Cloudformation template will be launched in your AWS account. 

If you experience a failure with the error message along the lines of

ROLLBACK - The following resources failed to create [createStorageConfiguration, createCredentials]

, the error is most commonly caused by entering the wrong credentials in the Cloudformation template.

Recommended Action:

Please launch the Quickstart again from the Databricks Account Console and make sure you enter the email/password of your Databricks account in the Cloudformation template.

Note: Be aware that the browser will often try to auto-fill these fields with the AWS credentials, so please double check the fields. 

Once the correct login information has been entered, Cloudformation should successfully run in about 5-10 minutes and you’ll be able to start using the newly deployed Databricks workspace.
