I’m attempting to automate the deployment of a project to an ecs\_cluster in ansible.

I’ve created valid task definitions and services for said cluster, but I am am struggling to attach an ec2\_asg to it. Thus not allowing the cluster to create and manage new tasks.

Please find the code for my current progress on this stack overflow link:

Is there something obvious I’m missing in the playbook documentation?

Or am I going to need to affect the instances created by the auto scaling group in some way, as to attach them to the cluster instead?

Thanks in advance for any help.
