The stack gets stuck on CREATE_IN_PROGRESS

[Jim-Bar]

When creating the stack with default parameters, region Paris, and with a key pair, the stack never reaches the state RUNNING because of the resource EcsService:

EcsService	arn:aws:ecs:eu-west-3:384881610529:service/factorio	AWS::ECS::Service	CREATE_IN_PROGRESS	Resource creation Initiated

I waited for about one hour. Thoughts?

@Jim-Bar the issue is that Paris is quite a new region, and the m3.medium instance type that the stack defaults to is not available in this region.

The reason for using the older instance by default, is because it's very cheap in regions that have it.

I would suggest that you use an m5.large. This will probably run you about 3-4c/hr. You can try with a smaller instance type, but I wouldn't recommend it. The compute / memory on the smaller instances is fine but I've had network issues with certain friends.

Trying this now... and will update readme if it works okay.

Added some more detail to readme. Hope this makes sense and helps.
