I am trying to create an ECS using a ci/cd pipeline. I have defined TaskDefination and ECSService along with VPC.

The cloudformation created the cluster and got stuck ECSService creation.

I went to the ECSService event, I found the error 'service my-service-name was unable to place a task because no container instance met all of its requirements. Reason: No Container Instances were found in your cluster. For more information, see the Troubleshooting section.'

Am I missing someting in my pipeline?

Here is my TaskDefination and ECSService

I have tried answers of already posted questions. In most of cases people get this error on AWS web interface. For me ECS is working using Web interface. I am not able to get it working using my pipeline.

CodePudding user response：

You have to explicitly provision EC2 container instances for your ECS tasks. Your current TF code does not create any EC2 instances for used by your ECS cluster and tasks.

CodePudding user response：

'No container instances found' is the error. You have created an empty cluster with no instances in the cluster You can manually do it as per this doc https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/launch_container_instance.html
