Tell us about your request What do you want us to build? It will be useful if ECS can provide more details of what is happening while the task is in the different states [1]. Therefore if it fails for example in the provisioning state it will provide more details of why it fails.

[1] https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task-lifecycle.html Which service(s) is this request for? Fargate, ECS

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? I got a task that was stuck in provisioning state but not clear message about the error was provided. We found it was an issue related with the Capacity Provider but it will be nice if ECS can provide a clear message about what it was stuck in Provisioning state.

thanks @dianibar-work ! Where did you expect to see these errors but they weren't there? In the console or API/CLI response?

@srrengar I would like to see this errors in the console, In the task Details will be a good place. If it is available in the task description via aws-cli it will be useful too.
