AWS ECS Error when running task: No Container Instances were found in your cluster

Question

Im trying to deploy a docker container image to AWS using ECS, but the EC2 instance is not being created. I have scoured the internet

Answer 1

Other suggested checks

1. Selecting the suggested AMI which was specified for the given region solved my problem.

   To find out the AMI - check Launching an Amazon ECS Container Instance.

2. By default all the ec2 instances are added to default cluster . So the name of the cluster also matters.

See point 10 at Launching an Amazon ECS Container Instance.
