On going project development & support

[JoeAlamo]

Hi there,

My organisation are moving towards Docker and want to use ECS Fargate. Whilst we would use CloudFormation to manage the setting up of the infrastructure & ECS services etc. this CLI looks fantastic for developers to use, to get info on what is running, view logs, run one off tasks etc.

However, I recently came across the ECS CLI v2.

I would like to know where this fargatecli project stands in terms of future development & support?

Is it going to be sidelined in favour of the ECS CLI v2? Or can I safely start to invest in adoption of this tool?

Many thanks.

fwiw, our fork is actively maintained. This approach has worked well for us, however, we use terraform instead of cloud formation.

Hi, AWS employee and one of the Fargate CLI maintainers here. We are putting a lot of investment into the AWS CLI v2 and I think that is probably the better route to take.

@PaulMaddox perhaps it would be advisable to place a notice that this particular repo is no longer under active development and will be maintained only on a continuity of service level?

Added a clarification notice to the README - aa1c09c

AWS Copilot is the better option these days, and is actively maintained by the AWS Containers team.

Thanks all.

Thanks @PaulMaddox for the fast response!
