ecs-cli sunsetting?

[dfuentes77]

Just wondering if this project is no longer maintained and will it refer to copilot for all future use?

If so, I'm sad that so many features that this project supports is not yet supported in copilot. So there will be this huge gap for some users.

One major feature that I'm waiting for is EC2 launch type, but there are a number of others.

This is sad indeed. ecs-cli local is so great for testing. If anyone know any alternatives that would create a docker-compose file from a task definition, I would be grateful.

Hi folks 👋

Thanks for the issue! For the future of Compose+ECS, check out the ECS plugin for Docker Compose if you haven't seen it. I believe there are gaps there as well compared to the ECS CLI, but they also support newer features. Currently, we're mostly merging bug fixes or community contributions for the ECS CLI and are working towards closing these use case gaps (such as local testing) for the AWS Copilot CLI and Docker Compose over time.
Apologies for the inconvenience 🙇 , the ECS CLI repository isn't going away so the existing features will work as is, in the mean time we're expanding the feature set for the AWS Copilot CLI, Docker Compose, and AWS CDK.

My only wish is for #1121 to be fixed :)
