Fix the “Failed to import Fargate services” error caused by too many security groups

Title

You may see a Failed to import Fargate services error when you import Fargate services into the console. This happens when a service uses more than the maximum number of security groups allowed by AWS.

AWS limits each service to five security groups, so imports fail when any service exceeds that limit.

Solution

Review the error shown in the console. You may see a message like:
- Failed to import Fargate services. Please verify IAM policy permissions and try again.
Check the system warning for more detail. You may see a message indicating that the service has too many security groups.
Confirm that each Fargate service uses no more than five security groups.
- AWS allows up to five security groups per service.
- You can review this limit in the AWS documentation.
Open the Ocean log for your group and look for the message about too many security groups.
- The log displays the same AWS validation error.
Reimport the services.
- Import one Fargate service at a time.
- Make sure the service has five or fewer security groups before trying again.

Outcome

Your import succeeds once all services meet AWS’s security group limit.
