Amazon ECS questions are easy to answer from stale memory or Kubernetes patterns that do not apply to ECS task definitions and services. Use this skill to ground answers in the official Amazon ECS documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic container orchestration advice.
When to Use
Use this skill when the request is about:
- ECS concepts: clusters, task definitions, tasks, services, and capacity
- Creating clusters, task definitions, and running tasks or services

- Networking: awsvpc, bridge, host modes, security groups, and Service Connect
- IAM roles: task execution role, task role, and permissions boundaries
- Container images, ECR integration, and private registry authentication
- Load balancing with ALB/NLB and service discovery (Cloud Map)
- Auto scaling for services and capacity providers
- ECS Exec, logging (awslogs, FireLens), and observability
- ECS Anywhere and external instance registration
- Blue/green and rolling deployments with CodeDeploy
- Troubleshooting task placement, health checks, and stopped tasks
