Terraform Version

Terraform v0.12.13

• provider.aws v2.43.0

Affected Resource(s)

aws_ecs_service

Expected Behavior

When creating an ECS service immediately after creating a new cluster in the same terraform apply, it should wait for AWS to create the service linked role, and succeed in creating the service.

Actual Behavior

It tries to create the service before AWS finishes creating the ECS service linked role, and fails with this error.

Error: InvalidParameterException: Unable to assume the service linked role. Please verify that the ECS service linked role exists.
	status code: 400, request id: ZZZZZZZ "YYYYYYY"
  on ../../terraform-modules/container_service/ecs_service.tf line 1, in resource "aws_ecs_service" "XXXXX":
   1: resource "aws_ecs_service" "XXXXX" {

If terraform apply is run again shortly thereafter, it works.

Steps to Reproduce

1. have a terraform plan file which creates a new ECS cluster and a service
2. terraform apply (fails)
3. Wait a minute or two
4. terraform apply (works)
