Run runc container over SSH

I am working on a cluster of runc containers running in AWS EC2 Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64 instances. I intend to have one master node run the containers in all the other nodes via SSH. I am using the following bash script in the master node:

#!/bin/bash
while read node
do
      ssh user@$node "cd ~/mycont; sudo runc run mycont"
done <active

The "active" file contains list of remote IPs for the EC2 instances. Running this results in an error similar to the one below
level=error msg="open /dev/tty: no such device or address"

Running the runc command by directly accessing the remote terminal via SSH works, but not in this inline format. Also, using ssh -t works as inline in the local terminal, but not in the bash script.

I am not sure what I am missing here. I don't have an in-depth knowledge of how SSH issues the commands: in the remote terminal, or by creating a terminal in the local machine. Also, will restoring the container via inline SSH have any issues? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Does it have anything to do with terminal: true in config.json?

Start with the bash loop, the active host list, and config.json's terminal setting; reproduce runc run mycont through direct SSH and the scripted command, including ssh -t. Check how the command receives /dev/tty and determine whether restoring the container through inline SSH is supported; document the required invocation or clarify the limitation.
