ecs-run-task

ecs-run-task is a cross-platform CLI tool to facilitate running ad-hoc tasks on the AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS).

Occasionally the need arises to run tasks in our infrastructure that are not long-running services. Examples include database migrations, batch jobs, ad-hoc database queries and general spelunking. To enable this use case, ECS exposes the RunTask functionality.
