$ aws --profile default ecs register-task-definition --cli-input-json file://taskdef.json
If your service has multiple containers, you can view one container's environment as:
aws --profile default ecs describe-task-definition --task-definition my-web-service | jq -r '.taskDefinition.containerDefinitions[] | select(.name == "web-container") | .environment'
List ECS Clusters for a given profile:
$ aws --profile default ecs list-clusters
List ECS Services for a given ECS Cluster:
$ aws --profile default ecs list-services --cluster $cluster_name
Get the running count of containers for a given service:
$ aws --profile default ecs describe-services --cluster $cluster_name --services $service_name | jq -r '.services[].runningCount'
Get the task definition revision for a given service:
$ aws --profile default ecs describe-services --cluster $cluster_name --services $service_name | jq -r '.services[].taskDefinition'
Check if the deployment info has accepted the new deployment:
$ aws --profile default ecs describe-services --cluster $cluster_name --services $service_name | jq -r '.services[].deployments'
If not, get the latest event info:
$ aws --profile default ecs describe-services --cluster $cluster_name --services $service_name | jq -r '.services[].events[0]'
Grab the task id and describe the info to get the last know status:
$ aws --profile default ecs describe-tasks --tasks 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 --cluster $cluster_name | jq -r '.tasks[].lastStatus'
STOPPED
Get the stop code:
$ aws --profile default ecs describe-tasks --tasks 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 --cluster $cluster_name | jq -r '.tasks[].stopCode'
TaskFailedToStart
Get the stop reason:
$ aws --profile default ecs describe-tasks --tasks 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 --cluster $cluster_name | jq -r '.tasks[].stoppedReason'

Create a ECS Service and specifying a Capacity Provider:
$ aws --profile default ecs create-service --cluster $cluster_name --service-name $service_name --task-definition mytaskdef:1 --desired-count 1 --scheduling-strategy "REPLICA" --capacity-provider-strategy='[{"capacityProvider": "ondemand-capacity","weight": 0, "base": 1},{"capacityProvider": "spot-capacity", "weight": 100, "base": 0}]'
Update ECS Service to the latest task definition revision:
$ aws --profile default ecs update-service --cluster $cluster_name --service $service_name --task-definition $task_def
Update ECS Service to 3 replicas:
$ aws --profile default ecs update-service --cluster $cluster_name --service $service_name --desired-count 3
Update ECS Service to use Capacity Providers:
$ aws --profile default ecs update-service --cluster $cluster_name --service $service_name --capacity-provider-strategy='[{"capacityProvider": "ondemand-capacity", "weight": 0, "base": 1},{"capacityProvider": "spot-capacity", "weight": 100, "base": 0}]' --force-new-deployment
