ECS
Clusters, task definitions, services, tasks — tasks run as real Docker containers on the host daemon.
Quick start
import boto3
ecs = boto3.client("ecs", endpoint_url="http://localhost:4566",
region_name="us-east-1",
aws_access_key_id="test", aws_secret_access_key="test")
ecs.create_cluster(clusterName="c")
td = ecs.register_task_definition(family="hello", containerDefinitions=[
{"name":"h","image":"hello-world","essential":True}])
ecs.run_task(cluster="c", taskDefinition=td["taskDefinition"]["taskDefinitionArn"])

CloudFormation
The CloudFormation engine provisions these resource types via this service:
AWS::ECS::Cluster
AWS::ECS::TaskDefinition
AWS::ECS::Service
See CloudFormation engine for intrinsic support and lifecycle details.
Known limitations
- awslogs driver configuration is parsed but stdout/stderr is NOT written to CloudWatch Logs.
- SubmitTaskStateChange does not emit to EventBridge.
- Task reaping interval: ECS_REAP_INTERVAL_SECONDS (default 60s).
