If you are using MacBook pro-m1 or any mac
build docker image with platform
docker build -t my_first_ecr_repo . --platform=linux/amd64

Could aws_ecs_cluster be provisioned to a non-default VPC? Thanks.

The "503 Error service not available" can be overcome by reducing the number of tasks per service, rather than 3 , try with 1.

Could aws_ecs_cluster be provisioned to a non-default VPC? Thanks.

did you get an answer to this?

docker build -t my_first_ecr_repo . --platform=linux/amd64

This fixed my 503 Error! Thank you @udayfop :)
