Deployment group's ECS service must be configured for a CODE_DEPLOY deployment controller

Question

I've encountered following error when I'm trying to create Deployment Group for ECS Cluster in Code Deploy. I've created IAM that based on CodeDeploy ECS and its policy:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": [
                "ecs:DescribeServices",
                "ecs:CreateTaskSet",
                "ecs:UpdateServicePrimaryTaskSet",
                "ecs:DeleteTaskSet",
                "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeTargetGroups",
                "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeListeners",
                "elasticloadbalancing:ModifyListener",
                "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeRules",
                "elasticloadbalancing:ModifyRule",
                "lambda:InvokeFunction",
                "cloudwatch:DescribeAlarms",
                "sns:Publish",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:GetObjectMetadata",
                "s3:GetObjectVersion"
            ],
            "Resource": "*",
            "Effect": "Allow"
        },
        {
            "Action": [
                "iam:PassRole"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": "*",
            "Condition": {
                "StringLike": {
                    "iam:PassedToService": [
                        "ecs-tasks.amazonaws.com"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Please let me know when I made mistake?

Answer 1

If you are using CodeDeploy, your ECS service has to be defined so that it uses Blue/Green code deployments rather than Rolling Updates:

HTH!

Answer 2

Also if you are using terraform you can simply fix it by add this to aws_ecs_service:

  deployment_controller {
      type = "CODE_DEPLOY"
  }
