Solution

  • If you are using Spinnaker < 1.19.X then the AWS ECS provider depends on the AWS EC2 provider and the AWS IAM structure. Please read: AWS Providers Overview to understand the AWs IAM structure that is required (AWS managing Account and AWS Managed accounts through AssumeRole action)

    Then you can set up an AWS EC2 Provider following this easy to get started guide by armory

    Finally Set the AWS ECS provider with the legacy instructions found at spinnaker.io

    If you are using Spinnaker > 1.19.X then you must use AWS ECS Service linked roles

    One very important step is tagging the AWS VPC subnets so that spinnaker can access them.
