What works: If ecs execute-command fails with TargetNotConnectedException even though the agent looks healthy, look at your sidecars. One user fixed it by removing the Fluent Bit log router container, and another by disabling Datadog-agent logging. Logging sidecars can interfere with the SSM session the exec command needs, so disable them one at a time to find the culprit. Treat this as a diagnosis step, not a universal fix.
