copilot-cli Support for ECS Anywhere?

Is there any plan to add support for ECS Anywhere workloads?

I've created a PoC with an on-prem load balancer + backend service, which is quite similar to a Backend Service with an Application Load Balancer: https://github.com/bencehornak/ecs-anywhere-with-aws-copilot-demo

It makes use of Traefik as the reverse proxy (inspired by this AWS blog), which is an opinionated choice of course, not sure whether it would have a place in copilot. But the updated CloudFormation properties in cfn.patches.yml would be required by any workload running on-prem, there's nothing opinionated about them, I could very well imagine them added to Copilot as a new workload type.

@bencehornak-gls wow thank you very much for the PoC and the break down of the demo ❤️

For the time being, there is currently no update on ECS Anywhere support - though I agree that it'd be a great addition 👍🏼! With that being said, the demo that you shared serves as a good example for folks that do want to deploy ECS Anywhere workloads. Do you mind if I add it into our "Discussions > Show and tell"?

I will update this thread once we have news to share about the ECS Anywhere support!

@Lou1415926 sure, it would be an honor if you brought up the topic in the discussion 😄
