copilot-cli Using Copilot CLI in EC2 Launch Mode

I want to use Copilot CLI to create ECS Services in EC2 Launch Mode. And we don't & shouldn't use Fargate mode. Is this something possible with the latest version of Copilot CLI? If so, which version?

Also we have currently running our production application and ecs Clusters using ecs-cli. And we are widely using docker-compose files. Does Copilot CLI supports reusing of these docker-compose files?

Hello @sekharvanka ! Copilot doesn't support docker-compose at this moment. But we are definitely looking to support in in the future. We are gathering data points on how people expect to use it in this thread. Would you mind giving a thumb-up to the issue, and sharing your idea there?

As to EC2 - currently Copilot doesn't support EC2 launch type either and there is no immediate plan yet. We still need to figure out a good way to support EC2, and understand how it could fit nicely into Copilot's design philosophy

Hey @Lou1415926, we're experiencing sub-optimal performance with Fargate, and would love the option to use EC2 where possible. Keen to hear if anything changes with this!
