Error waiting for ECS Cluster to become Available: unexpected state 'FAILED', wanted target 'ACTIVE')

Terraform Providers AWS
1

Hi,

When trying to create a new cluster along side with a new capacity provider attached to it I see the below error that the ecs cluster is unavailble and on the console the cluster is created in failed state. I am able to create the ecs cluster without capcity provider attached to it, but when I try to create it with the capcity provider atttached to it fails with the below error. I am currently using Terraform version v0.12.31 with aws provider version: 3.74.2 where I am seeing this issue. Could you please help/guide on this issue we are seeing.

Error
Error: error waiting for ECS Cluster to become Available: unexpected state ‘FAILED’, wanted target ‘ACTIVE’. last error: %!s()
