creating RunTaskInput with TaskOverride but without a name

		runtask := &ecs.RunTaskInput{
			Count:          aws.Int64(1),
			TaskDefinition: aws.String(fmt.Sprintf("arn:aws:ecs:us-east-2:123456789120:task-definition/%s", taskTarget)),
			Cluster:        aws.String("my-cluster"),
			StartedBy:      aws.String("my-lambda"),
			LaunchType:     aws.String("FARGATE"),
			NetworkConfiguration: &ecs.NetworkConfiguration{
				AwsvpcConfiguration: &ecs.AwsVpcConfiguration{
					Subnets: []*string{
						aws.String("subnet-xxxxxxxx"),
						aws.String("subnet-yyyyyyyy"),
						aws.String("subnet-zzzzzzzzz"),
					},
					AssignPublicIp: aws.String("DISABLED"),
				},
			},
			Overrides: &ecs.TaskOverride{
				ContainerOverrides: []*ecs.ContainerOverride{
					&ecs.ContainerOverride{
// not including this is the error:	Name: &taskTarget,
						Command: []*string{
							aws.String(fmt.Sprintf("my-runnable -bucket %s -key %s", bucket, key)),
						},
					},
				},
			},
		}
		err = runtask.Validate()
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
		result, err := ecsSvc.RunTask(runtask) // returns the error InvalidParameterException: name cannot be blank.

Thanks for reaching out and reporting this issue to us @jjmartin. The best way to get this issue corrected is to submit feedback to the Amazon ECS team via the API Reference Docs for this operation, and clicking the Feedback button in the bottom right hand corner of the page. I'll do this as well internally. The AWS SDKs use the models provided to us by the Amazon ECS team for this client.

The 'name' parameter for a containerOverride is only required IF a containerOverride is specified. What this means is that it is possible to pass in an empty containerOverride, such as "{"containerOverrides": [ ]}" where the name is not included.

Thank you for your patience in this matter @joelbrandenburg. The documentation for the ContainerOverride data type has been updated in both the API Reference Docs and the AWS SDK for Go Docs to reflect the need to specify a Name if a ContainerOverride is included in an API call's parameters.
