You can now spend the Amazon EC2 Container Service CLI (Amazon ECS CLI) to simplify your local development experience as well as easily set up an Amazon ECS cluster and its associated resources (e.g.,EC2 instance). The Amazon ECS CLI supports Docker Compose, an open-source tool for defining and running multi-container applications. You can spend the same Compose definition used to define a multi-container application on your development machine as well as in production. The Amazon ECS CLI is open source and available for download here. Read more about the CLI in our documentation.
