Amazon EC2 Container Service CLI supports Docker Compose version 2 format

Posted on: Jul 8, 2016

You can now use Docker Compose version 2 YAML files with the Amazon EC2 Container Service CLI (Amazon ECS CLI) to create an Amazon ECS service. 

The Amazon ECS CLI is a tool 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 use 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
