Here is my yaml file code added. Please check
I have shared my task-definition.json and github actions pipeline progress.
But, I am getting some error Input required and not supplied: task-definition
Please let me know what is the issue here

Answer 1

The problem is in the last step - Deploy Amazon ECS task definition
The problematic part is ${{ steps.task-def.outputs.task-definition }} which doesn't refer to an existing step. There is not step with id task-def.
In order to work it should be: ${{ steps.cgafrica-new-backend-task.outputs.task-definition }}
- name: Deploy Amazon ECS task definition
uses: aws-actions/amazon-ecs-deploy-task-definition#v1
with:
task-definition: ${{ steps.cgafrica-new-backend-task.outputs.task-definition }}
service: cgafrica-backend-service
cluster: cgafrica-backend-cluster
wait-for-service-stability: true
