Timeout waiting for network interface provisioning to complete

Question

Does anyone know why an ECS Fargate task would fail with this error? Timeout waiting for network interface provisioning to complete. I am running an ECS Fargate task using step functions. The IAM role for step function have access to the task def.The state machine code also looks good. The same step function worked fine before but i ran into this error just now. Want to know why this would happen? is it occasional?

Answer 1

According to AWS support, intermittent failures of this nature are to be expected (with relatively low probability).

The recommendation was to set retryAttempts > 1 to handle these situations.
