There's another issue with the example... it's attempting to use instance type m5.micro (https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/blob/752df6302e534a7df22a809536c588deaf444c4d/python/ecs/ecs-service-with-advanced-alb-config/app.py#L26) when there isn't an instance size 'micro' for family m5: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/m5/

This error is also coming up... it may have to do with how the name of the resource is interpolated as a concatenation of the stack and resource name: The specified capacity provider name is invalid. Up to 255 characters are allowed, including letters (upper and lowercase), numbers, underscores, and hyphens. The name cannot be prefixed with "aws", "ecs", or "fargate". Specify a valid name and try again.

With respect to @anggras' original error, I was not able to reproduce the error message: "service XXXXX 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."

However, I did discover that an incorrect instance type was specified for the autoscaling group definition (m5.micro doesn't exist). The stack wouldn't synth because the ecs autoscaling group name did not meet the name requirements. I'll create a new issue since these issues don't directly address OP's issue.

The fix for this is in PR #626
