Current AWS ECS Functionality/Capabilities

[ccit-spence]

Are there any functionalities around ECS at this time?

Specifically we are looking at the possibility to integrate functionality into Spring Cloud Netflix Ribbon and Hystrix. The idea would be that if a request is made and the circuit breaker is tripped a call to the aws ecs update-service --desired-count to the next increment higher.

The second phase of this would be to implement functionality that if a service is idle for x period a call is made to update-service to set the number of --desired-count to 0

Hello @ccit-spence, thanks for your issues that definitely sounds interesting. I plan to have new features for the release in the 1.1 milestone. I will check how we can "plug-in" into hystrix commands, with that in mind it should be rather easy to call the ECS service.

I would be more then happy if you want to contribute!
