Making cloud9 by terraform but can't find the ami

Question

I am making cloud9 by terraform according to the article here

However this code shows the error like this

│ Error: Your query returned no results. Please change your search criteria and try again. │ │ with module.cloud9.data.aws_ami.cloud9_ami, │ on ../../cloud9/main.tf line 1, in data "aws_ami" "cloud9_ami": │ 1: data "aws_ami" "cloud9_ami" {

I think this means there is not appropriate AMI.

How can I fix this ?

data "aws_ami" "cloud9_ami" {
  most_recent = true
  owners      = ["amazon"]
    
  filter {
    name   = "name"
    values = ["aws-cloud9-*-x86_64"] # Adjust pattern based on desired Cloud9 AMI
  }
    
  filter {
    name   = "virtualization-type"
    values = ["hvm"]
  }
}
    
resource "aws_cloud9_environment_ec2" "my_cloud9_environment" {
  name          = "my-cloud9-env"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
  image_id      = data.aws_ami.cloud9_ami.id
  owner_arn     = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/your-user"
  automatic_stop_time_minutes = 60
}

There are two things to consider:

region you want to deploy the instance into. The AMI names can differ in that case.
it seems Cloud9 image names start similar to Cloud9AmazonLinux2-2025-09-22T11-21.

So I would probably try something like:

data "aws_ami" "cloud9_ami" {
  most_recent = true
  owners      = ["amazon"]

  filter {
    name   = "name"
    values = ["Cloud9AmazonLinux2*"] # Adjust pattern based on desired Cloud9 AMI
  }

  filter {
    name   = "virtualization-type"
    values = ["hvm"]
  }

  filter {
    name   = "architecture"
    values = "x86_64" 
  }
}

A very important thing to note is that all the images will probably be deprecated very soon.
