ecs: help with importing cross account cluster

[katzj-amzn]

Describe the feature

I am trying to call a Fargate task definition from a SFN in account A to a cluster in account B. This is done in our CDK package.

I am getting connections is not available for a Cluster imported using fromClusterArn(), please use fromClusterAttributes() instead when trying to reference a Fargate cluster defined in a separate account.

Using CDK I have:

    const ecsRunTaskProps: EcsRunTaskProps = {
      taskDefinition: taskDefinition,
      cluster: Cluster.fromClusterArn(scope, 'ExcelDataExportFargateCluster', clusterARN),
      // cluster: Cluster.fromClusterAttributes(scope, 'ClusterAttributes', clusterAttributes),
      launchTarget: new EcsFargateLaunchTarget(),
      resultPath: '$.taskresult'
    };

    return new EcsRunTask(scope, `ExcelDataExportTask`, ecsRunTaskProps);

This produces the error. The issue with using ClusterAttributes is it does not have a field for AccountId, and requires VPC field which also does not have a field for accountId.

Use Case

Cross account calls to ECSRunTask

Proposed Solution

Allow fromClusterArn to work for cross account requests, or provide another way to make cross account requests.

The issue with using ClusterAttributes is it does not have a field for AccountId, and requires VPC field which also does not have a field for accountId.

These shouldn't need an accountId field, just try using fromClusterAttributes() while supplying the arn and any other necessary information.
