Can't init project with Amplify

See original GitHub issue

Hi I’m trying to initialize a project by running the command amplify init but after I make the selections, it comes back with an error:

⠧ Initializing project in the cloud...An error occurred when creating the CloudFormation stack

How do I opt in? I was wondering how do I fix this issue?
