Root Cause(s)

• We expect the ndw-etl-prod job to be triggered by the AWS eventbridge rule every day at 2am UTC.

• From the metrics, the everntbridge rule was triggered on Apr 11, but there’re no logs found on Cloudwatch. And from the ECSStoppedTasksEvent, we can also find the ndw-etl-prod task was not started.

• The CloudTrail event history shows the reason of failure: "Capacity is unavailable at this time. Please try again later or in a different availability zone"
