  I am trying to tag commit hash and app version onto the ECS service to make it easier for developers to identify the service with the code.
  
  But I get this error
  
  ```
  + aws ecs tag-resource --resource-arn arn:aws:ecs:ap-southeast-1:12344556677:service/master-web-dev-WebECSServices --tags key=COMMITHASH,value=85491def key=VERSION,value=0.2.4
  An error occurred (InvalidParameterException) when calling the TagResource operation: Long arn format must be used for tagging operations
  
  ```
  
  Is there any problem with the ARN? Why do I always get this issue?
