Describe the bug
I am trying the sample https://github.com/aws/aws-app-mesh-examples/tree/master/walkthroughs/howto-ecs-basics.

I was able to complete deployment of servicedeployment and see it on cloudwatch service map. However when I tried
% ./deploy.sh deploy 2-meshify

It took very long time (~30 minutes) and then I got a message saying

Failed to create/update the stack. Run the following command
to fetch the list of events leading up to the failure
aws cloudformation describe-stack-events --stack-name appmesh-howto-ecs-basics

If tried again, I kept getting the following message:

deploy app using stage 2-meshify
Deploying stack appmesh-howto-ecs-basics, this may take a few minutes...
An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the CreateChangeSet operation: Stack:arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:890276997447:stack/appmesh-howto-ecs-basics/c27ce4b0-0dc7-11eb-92f2-06b6cdf5c503 is in UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS state and can not be updated.

What should I do next?

Platform
ECS, EC.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Follow the steps in the sample: https://github.com/aws/aws-app-mesh-examples/tree/master/walkthroughs/howto-ecs-basics

Expected behavior
It should work like a charm and should take no more than 5 minutes to update the cloudformation stack.

Please close the issue.

I got confused by the Boottrap Step#4 and use export ENVOY_IMAGE=...

  1. ENVOY_IMAGE environment variable is not set to App Mesh Envoy, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/app-mesh/latest/userguide/envoy.html
    export ENVOY_IMAGE=...

I would suggest revising the message to:

  1. Set ENVOY_IMAGE environment variable location to App Mesh Envoy image. You can get the image URL at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/app-mesh/latest/userguide/envoy.html.
    export ENVOY_IMAGE=<image-location>
