Cloudformation failed to create ecs service (No Container Instances were found in your cluster.)

I am trying to create an Cloudformation ECS stack but I keep running through this error.

service XXXX was unable to place a task because no container instance   
met all of its requirements. Reason: No Container Instances were found 
in your cluster. For more information, see the Troubleshooting section.

I used the template cloudformation ECS from amazon webpage. Anyone know how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Had the same error message in the AWS console and no EC2 instances were being associated with the cluster. Also while it might be a duplicate issue, the resolution is different.

The ecs container agent running on the EC2 was stopped. Docker logs showed an error message about checkpoint file. I didin't copy the error message unfortunately.

ultimately had to delete a file in /var/lib/ directory. I'll update this post with more info.

Your cluster doesn't have any hosts associated with it most likely. The most straight forward way to confirm this would be to create a new cluster, and specify the existing host to add to it when you create it (this can be automated via user data settings later, but that's a different topic).

Once you create the cluster, you should see your host(s) under the EC2 Instances tab. If you see them, try launching your task again.
