I’m encountering an issue when running terraform init. I am trying to install iglu server in aws. I downloaded the latest terraform module of snowplow. The error message I receive is:
Error: Failed to install provider
Error while installing snowplow-devops/snowplow v0.7.3: could not query provider registry for
registry.terraform.io/snowplow-devops/snowplow: failed to retrieve authentication checksums for provider: the request failed after 2 attempts, please try again later:
This error appears during the initialization process, and I’m unsure if it’s specifically related to the snowplow-devops/snowplow provider version v0.7.3. I’ve checked my network connection, retried multiple times, and ensured my Terraform configuration is correct.
I am following the complete guide step by step that has given in the official page: Quick start guide | Snowplow Documentation
Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve tried locally and installing that provider seems to work OK for me at the moment.

Sounds like this is an intermittent failure for some providers. Did it give you the URL it tried like in that issue? Does that work for if you make the same request outside of terraform?
Today also terraform init is throwing the same error:

I am able to access the URL from the browser.
what could be the possible reasons behind this?
After changing the network to the mobile hotspot, it ran sucessfully. This indicates that the issue was likely related to network restrictions or policies on the original network
