How to Resolve Manually
When specifying a Windows Platform Version for Fargate, the options are currently 1.0.0 or LATEST. There is only one version at the time of writing, but selecting 1.0.0 could mean you stay on an old version, should a new one be released. This particular Config Rule will flag as NON_COMPLIANT if your ECS Cluster has a Fargate task's Platform Version set to 1.0.0 - it needs to be LATEST
When specifying a Linux Platform Version for Fargate however, there are more options to consider. We have currently at the time of writing;
- 1.4.0
- 1.3.0
- 1.2.0
- 1.1.0
- 1.0.0
Currently, 1.4.0 is the LATEST but we can still choose LATEST as a Platform Version when configuring a Fargate Task on an ECS Cluster. Similar to the Windows platform setup, we will need to have LATEST selected to be COMPLIANT with this AWS Config Rule
