ECS srevice destroy stuck issue

Terraform Providers AWS

Hi All,

I am creating an ECS EC2 type cluster and deploying my container images in that using ECS service. Deployment is succesfull and all the required resources are created and container is deployed onto the ECS cluster.

But when i am trying to destroy the resources, the operation gets stuck at ECS service destroy and gets failed after 20 min timeout (Althuogh it deletes the ECS service in the backend but remains in destroying state) and when i do terraform destroy again it deletes the remaining resources.

Please provide your suggestion if anyone have faced this kind of issue.

I have attached the screenshot of the timeout error also for reference.

the service can be only deleted if you scale it down to 0 replicas. It’s not possible to remove services if you have one or more replicas (desired state). It’s the stupid ECS thing.

during the stuck phase i can see in the portal that service is deleted from ECS cluster and showing the status as ‘Draining’. So It’s ECS who is not updating the actual status.
