Hi @driverpt , thanks for reaching out. Not really sure how you are doing it but I found out this has been mentioned in AWS DOCS as well as in this sage post.

Tasks using the Fargate launch type or the CODE_DEPLOY or EXTERNAL deployment controller types don't support the daemon scheduling strategy.

However it would be great if you could share minimum self contained issue reproduction code.
Thanks.

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy on an EXTERNAL ECS Anywhere instance (Not Deployment Controller), but with ECS Deployment Controller. For that to work I had to do the following

(<CfnService>service.node.defaultChild).schedulingStrategy = "DAEMON";

Would be great if you added support for this property in the L2 Construct

Hi @driverpt , thanks for responding back. Looks like this issue is more of a feature request , so I would be converting this to FR.

Searching in the Cloduformation docs, I assume this is what you are trying to request regarding the ECS Anywhere scheduling strategy -

1. Scheduling strategy support in Cloudformation - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-ecs-service.html#cfn-ecs-service-schedulingstrategy
2. Interface ExternalServiceProps does not support this property hence one has to use the L1 construct for this.

Code reference -https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/f8e62073484d22291656b3e9ae27f22cc5c020cf/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-ecs/lib/external/external-service.ts#L15C18-L15C38

Marking this as P2 as there is a workaround to use [L1 construct].(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ecs.CfnService.html#schedulingstrategy) Contributions from community are welcome.

Hope that makes sense and is helpful. Let me know if something is misinterpreted.
