Hey all!
Does anyone have experience deploying an EC2 instance into ECS?
We’re having issue where the creation of the ECS service is hanging on `pulumi up`:

I’m not sure what the best thing to look for here is - after quite a few minutes the error reports:
`* error waiting for service (arn:aws:ecs:eu-west-1:463234216787:service/picnic-staging-c3fd3bc/picnic-staging-server-8563e16) to reach a steady state: ResourceNotReady: exceeded wait attempts`

Hi <@U01F13X3U92>

This suggests that the service isn't getting marked as healthy and ECS is continually trying to restart it

If you go to ECS in the AWS console, you may get a wee bit more information about why this is as part of your service logs

I would suggest it's that the container isn't starting correctly

Hey <@UHTP242EB> thank you for the response!

I’m not sure if you have any pointers, but in the ECS dashboard the EC2 instance doesn’t seem to connect - it shows `0` container instances.

On the EC2 dashboard, I only see 1 instance that’s unnamed, but I think that’s the ECS cluster instance

Can you show me your infra code that spins this up?

index.ts

Sorry if this is horribly awry - I’m still learning through the AWS setup :slightly_smiling_face:

<@UHTP242EB> for context, everything seems to be creating except that EC2 instance:

<@UHTP242EB> Sorry to bother you, do you have any idea what could be going wrong in that config to cause the service to hang on creation?
