Research direction

Start by locating the code path that stops ECS services and inspect how it sets the desired count. Compare the service-stop request with the daemon scheduling strategy error in the issue; done means services using both scheduling strategies can be stopped without this exception.

Description

cfn-manage enhancement

Attempting to stop services in an ECS cluster that used the daemon scheduling strategy throws an error. The logs are:

I, [2019-05-20T19:00:13.578661 #30810]  INFO -- : Stopping ECS service my-service...
E, [2019-05-20T19:00:13.598088 #30810] ERROR -- : An exception occurred during stop operation against resource my-ecs-cluster
E, [2019-05-20T19:00:13.598134 #30810] ERROR -- : The daemon scheduling strategy does not support a desired count for services. Remove the desired count value and try again

The code that stops the ECS services needs to be aware of the different types of scheduling strategies and used the appropriate mechanism to stop the service for each.
