**Tell us about your request**
A configuration to allow ECS to deploy StatefulSets. I Want to maintain a sticky identity for each container within the Task . These containers are created from the same spec, but are not interchangeable: each has a persistent identifier that it maintains across any rescheduling.
Something basically like a StatefulSets equivalent of EKS in the ECS world.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECS

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Want to be able to create stateful applications using StateFulSets. So I want a predictable name for the containers generated from the TaskDefinition.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
I'm deploying it in EKS as a K8s statefulSet resource

Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the request and the linked Kubernetes StatefulSet documentation, then determine the ECS design needed for stable container identities across rescheduling; done would mean the requested StatefulSets-equivalent capability is supported.
