Hey @AndreLobato, I have been unable to reproduce this issue even with the additional information. If this continues to be an issue for you could you include an example application codebase(github repo or directory archive) which reproduces this issue and exact steps to reproduce?

Thanks

Sorry again, Just a bit more context to this issue, looks like it happens when I try to “deploy” an “MultiDockerContainer” application, then EB will try to create a new ECS Task, however it seems that is missing to inherit the “family” value from the previous task.
