Job Failing with "Error: Unsupported deployment controller: ECS"

See original GitHub issue

Description

Recent jobs (as of around 28 Sep 03:30 UTC) have started failing with the error:

Error: Unsupported deployment controller: ECS

The specific job in the workflow that’s failing is:

      - name: Deploy Amazon ECS backend service task definition
        uses: aws-actions/amazon-ecs-deploy-task-definition@v1
        with:
          task-definition: ${{ steps.task-def.outputs.task-definition }}
          service: ${{ env.ECS_SERVICE }}
          cluster: ${{ env.ECS_CLUSTER }}
          wait-for-service-stability: true
          wait-for-minutes: 8

Previous jobs in the workflow (incl. Checkout, ECR Login, Building & pushing image to ECR, Filling in Task definition) are all passing.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Additional Notes:

Deployment directly from the Amazon ECS Web UI is working
There have been no changes to workflows since ~25th Sep, and there were successful deployments then.
Attached is a redacted version of the task definition
