InvalidParameterException: Task definition does not support launch_type FARGATE #268
Description
We've discovered (again) that when deploying a new build of code from 2018 API services through Travis to ECS, they will fail if they're using a pre-PR-129 build of the ecs-deploy.sh script that we've relied on since 2017.
When deploying a new container image build via the old script, a result like the following occurs:
latest: digest: sha256:4b2a5b42273a39cfd89579b443f0e4ba4110abba3447175fca18f81f0c2af790 size: 3685

An error occurred (InvalidParameterException) when calling the UpdateService operation: Task definition does not support launch_type FARGATE.
Done. Your build exited with 0.
We discovered again (but should've remembered and tracked this problem) that the ecs-deploy.sh script used by Travis via each container repo's scripts needs to be updated to a more recent version than the pre-PR-129 code that we'd previously been using, since that PR is what added support for Fargate.
The current standard version of this script - the one being used by all 2019 API services - is here:
https://github.com/hackoregon/deploy-scripts/blob/master/scripts/deploy/ecs-deploy.sh
We can and will copy and PR this script into the 2018 and 2017 API repos as part of their migrations to Fargate.
