I'm trying to setup an ECS via ecs-cli and docker compose file. I'm using Docker compose's (version 1.6) version 2 of the Compose File format.
I'm able to create the stack via command line:
ecs-cli up --keypair <xxx> --capability-iam --size 5 --instance-type t2.micro
Then when I try to create ECS definition file from docker file:
ecs-cli compose --file aws-compose.yml create
I get this error:
ERRO[0000] Error describing task definition error=ClientException: Unable to describe task definition.
status code: 400, request id: 593efa62-d3bc-11e5-bc6b-174f2874560f taskDefinitionName=ecscompose-expdata

And I'm helpless here,
Thanks
It turned out that I had some whitespaces after image name. Docker compose doesn't care, but ecs-cli is slightly more pickier. After removing them, I managed to move on
