Tell us about your request I would like a simple UI tool integrated in the console to easily compare task definition versions of the same task family.

Which service(s) is this request for? ECS console

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? When there's an issue/incident and it's happening after a release, the simplest thing to do is to check what has changed. The easiest way to do so is just to compare task definitions versions. Since they are both json, it should be easy to compare the key/values that have changed and get that feedback instantly.

Are you currently working around this issue? The way I do that at the moment, copy json from version X put in https://text-compare.com/ copy json from version Y upload to other compare side and click compare. It's very effective but it's a pain to do.

Additional context It's very console oriented and I don't think would require backend APIs for it. Or I guess a new API compare-task-definition.
