I'm trying to create an EBS instance using the built-in Windows/IIS template. I've done this same thing before without any issue in the past, but my new environment is stuck Pending during creation.
3:46pm
Environment health has transitioned from Pending to Severe. Initialization in progress (running for 15 minutes). There are no instances.

Created security group named:
awseb-e-23furmsmsu-stack-AWSEBSecurityGroup-1OZP73C829MW0

Using elasticbeanstalk-us-east-2-386676946253 as Amazon S3 storage bucket for environment data.

createEnvironment is starting.
I can't delete the application/environment because the environment is still Pending. Any idea what is going on?
It took an hour for the creation process to fail, which finally showed the error.
Creating Auto Scaling group named: awseb-e-23furmsmsu-stack-AWSEBAutoScalingGroup-1NACPJ6A9H5AM failed. Reason: Group did not stabilize. {current/minSize/maxSize} group size = {0/1/1}. Failed Scaling Activity: Volume of size 20GB is smaller than snapshot 'snap-02dac56e7bbd3ba3c', expect size >= 30GB. Launching EC2 instance failed.
The size of the Windows/IIS snapshot has changed with the new version, and I hadn't allocated a large enough SSD. Changing the SSD size worked just fine.
