Lab5 ~ Stage2 - Step8 - Deploying Java "webapp" application issue

[clemusgo9981]

Hello team,

Hope you're doing well. I was setting this AWS DevOps Lab on my personal account, and during the Lab5, Stage2, Step8, I'm getting the following error while trying to deploy java application "webapp". Looks like the mirror for installing Apache Tomcat is no longer valid:

Stopped reason CannotPullContainerError: inspect image has been retried 1 time(s): failed to resolve ref "docker.io/javawebapp/latest:latest": pull access denied, repository does not exist or may require authorization: server message: insufficient_scope: authorization failed

NOTE: I ensured myself to cover the issue by adding permissions to the repository "javawebappdemo" just in case, but still getting the same problem with the URL mirror for installing Apache Tomcat. The error message "ExpiredTokenException" is due to multiple times the java app deployment process was tried, so this should be expected after all.
Those warning messages showing in the Cloud9 CLI command output is expected. This should not affect the process of deploying the java application. The whole lab was retried, but still getting the same results.

IMPORTANT: Most of the roles that were deployed are facing issues by not declaring the version of the json file, actions by not having an applicable resource, and actions not support resource level permissions, which requires a wildcard for the resource. It's worth it to update those roles, in order to avoid updating them manually (which this was my case). I'll ensure to upload the updates done on every role. Hopefully, this contributes for the community and all audience.

Any feedback or guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
