AWS CodePipeline error YAML FILE ERROR Message Wrong number of container tags expected 1

Question

I'm trying to execute my AWS CodePipeline and I end with the following error:

YAML_FILE_ERROR Message: Wrong number of container tags, expected 1

Why am I getting this error? And how do I get rid of it?

Show your spec.yaml file. Most probably the version you've mentioned is wrong. Should be something like this:

version: 0.2
os: linux
files:
  - source: /index.html
    destination: /var/www/html/
hooks:
  BeforeInstall:
    - location: scripts/install_dependencies
      timeout: 300
      runas: root
    - location: scripts/start_server
      timeout: 300
      runas: root
  ApplicationStop:
    - location: scripts/stop_server
      timeout: 300
      runas: root
