(EcsDeployAction): Optionally allow service_name and cluster_name as String

[Stretch96]

Describe the feature

Optionally allow service_name and cluster_name as str type for EcsDeployAction

And change service (IBaseService) to optional

Use Case

Creating an ecs.FargateService, which pulls an image from an ecs.Repository within the same Stack will fail, or hang (because there will not be an image in the new ECR)

Example Stack:

• ECR Repository
• Fargate Service (Image pulling from the ECR repository)
• CodePipeline connected to GitHub (Build and Push to ECR and EcsDeployAction to ECS)

The ECR Repository will create fine, but will be empty

The Fargate Service will launch fine (albeit failing to launch a container), and then the cdk/CloudFormation deploy hangs because the ECR is empty

The CodePipeline doesn't get created because the EcsDeployAction Depends on the IBaseService type - even though it only needs the Service Name and Cluster Name, which can be provided as known Strings:
https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/main/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-codepipeline-actions/lib/ecs/deploy-action.ts#L114-L115

Proposed Solution

Optionally allow:

service_name(Optional[str]) – The ECS Service Name to deploy
cluster_name(Optional[str]) - The ECS Service Cluster's name

@Stretch96 , thanks for reaching out. I see a similar past issue was opened with the same requirements - #17911 and our team provided their insights and workaround here -#17917 (review)

Would request you to go through the shared issue and workaround, and see if that matches with what you are asking for.

Thanks
