**Tell us about your request**
I am attempting to deploy firelens support to my existing ECS Fargate services using the 1.4.0 platform.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
Fargate
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Adding a `depends_on` to my main application task appears to prevent the ECS deployment from ever leaving the PENDING state. Deployments never succeed. I also ended up filing this this as Support Case #7364610971.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
depends_on is disabled.
**Additional context**
The error handling here is ... not great. I cannot tell why my service will not start.
**Attachments**

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported AWS Fargate 1.4.0 deployment with FireLens and multiple container dependencies, comparing it with the workaround that disables depends_on. The issue provides no repository files or tests; done would require identifying why the deployment remains PENDING and improving the failure behavior or error information.
