AWS CLI ECS Command Reference

This skill provides comprehensive AWS CLI ECS command specifications to ensure KECS compatibility with user expectations when using aws ecs commands.

Overview

AWS CLI ECS commands allow users to interact with Amazon ECS services. KECS emulates these APIs, so understanding CLI behavior is crucial for compatibility.

Global CLI Options

All ECS commands support these global options:

Option Description
--region AWS region to use
--profile Named credential profile
--output Output format: json, text, table, yaml, yaml-stream
--query JMESPath filter for response
--endpoint-url Override service endpoint (critical for KECS)
--debug Enable debug logging
--no-verify-ssl Disable SSL verification
--no-paginate Disable automatic pagination

Pagination Options

For paginated operations:

  • --max-items: Total items to return
  • --page-size: Items per API call
  • --starting-token: Resume from previous response

Input Options

  • --cli-input-json: Read arguments from JSON
  • --cli-input-yaml: Read arguments from YAML
  • --generate-cli-skeleton: Print request skeleton

# With custom kubeconfig
export KUBECONFIG=/tmp/kecs-instance.config
aws ecs describe-clusters --cluster default
