Amazon web services – How to avoid AWSEBAutoScalingLaunchConfiguration when creating a new AWS Elastin Beanstalk application?

Trying to create a AWS Elastic Beanstalk app with Docker running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2023/4.3.8, using pretty much default settings on most configuration settings, like these:

• IMDSv1 Deactivated
• Environment type Single instance
• Availability Zones Any
• Fleet composition On-Demand instance
• Instance types t3.micro
• On-demand base 0
• Proxy server nginx

The environment does not want to start though while I am seeing these error events:

1. 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:
   e4a071d6-34d4-411f-92da-6d19cf888015)" (RequestToken:
   a2c39556-2bdd-3403-341a-1679bcb4a272, HandlerErrorCode:
   GeneralServiceException)

2. Stack named ‘awseb-e-ex3sx4wzyp-stack’ aborted operation. Current state: ‘CREATE_FAILED’ Reason: The following resource(s)
   failed to create: [AWSEBAutoScalingLaunchConfiguration].

3. Service:AmazonCloudFormation, Message:Resource AWSEBAutoScalingGroup does not exist for stack
   awseb-e-ex3sx4wzyp-stack

The user has admin rights. Any help appreciated 🙂

EDIT: I did follow an advice and added autoscaling:CreateLaunchConfiguration permission to the user that creates the app. The problem persists.
