AWS Elastic Beanstalk setup issue

Hey,

I am getting some errors when trying to follow the setup guide for AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

When I run 'eb create' I get these errors:

ERROR Creating Auto Scaling launch configuration failed Reason: Resource handler returned message: "The Launch Configuration creation operation is not available in your account. Use launch templates to create configuration templates for your Auto Scaling groups. (Service: AutoScaling, Status Code: 400, Request ID: 2e203d0f-a318-4fac-b6fb-6b8fc608bb29)" (RequestToken: 70c7ccd5-eb2c-a1ff-37d3-e50cd1137563, HandlerErrorCode: GeneralServiceException)

ERROR Stack named 'awseb-e-kvhmpncjcx-stack' aborted operation. Current state: 'CREATE_FAILED' Reason: The following resource(s) failed to create: [AWSEBAutoScalingLaunchConfiguration].

ERROR Service:AmazonCloudFormation, Message:Resource AWSEBAutoScalingGroup does not exist for stack awseb-e-kvhmpncjcx-stack

These seem related to me, but as I am a complete newbie to AWS (and NodeRED), I don't know how I might manually fix it, or what I could do to make the 'eb create' command work.

I found some other posts with problems re. AWS/EB, but they didn't seem to be this exact issue, so I felt justified making a new post. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere on the forum.

Any help is much appreciated.

** EDIT By the way, researching this I found: Create a launch configuration - Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

where it says: "Starting on October 1, 2024, new accounts will not be able to create new launch configurations by using the console, API, CLI, and CloudFormation."

I am wondering if this is why it is failing?
