Amazon ECS Docs

ECS answers drift with every release and Kubernetes or Compose habits mislead them, so ground each answer in the live docs at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/, not memory, and link the exact page behind every claim.

Route Kubernetes or EKS cluster operations to kubernetes-docs or aws-eks-docs, Docker Engine or Compose without ECS context to docker-docs, AWS CLI install and global options to aws-cli-docs, Lambda container images to aws-lambda-docs, and IAM policy language to aws-iam-docs.

Workflow

1. Locate the question in references/topic-map.md, a selective index of docs entry points. Done when each part of the question maps to a section of the map, or you have noted that none fits.
2. Search docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest with the user's exact terms plus ECS vocabulary such as task definition, Fargate, capacity provider, Service Connect, task execution role, or awsvpc, starting from the map's pages and the Routing rules below. Done when you hold the one page that most directly answers each part.
3. Read each page down to the relevant section. Done when you have read the passage behind every claim you will make. When a page has moved, been renamed, or stops short, say so and link the nearest authoritative pages.
4. Answer with the direct answer first, each docs link beside the claim it supports, and task definition JSON, templates or commands only when the user asks or the page needs them. Mark any conclusion that joins several pages as Inference:. Done when every claim cites a specific page, not the docs home.
