**Tell us about your request**
We are trying to operate an ECS cluster and can't use CapacityProviders. However the metric explained [here](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/deep-dive-on-amazon-ecs-cluster-auto-scaling/) is incredibly valuable. I would love to have it at the entire cluster level so the users have the flexibility to build their own cluster controller.

I know there is [ClusterReservation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/cloudwatch-metrics.html#cluster_reservation) metric but it only applies to RUNNING tasks. I want to know the requirement including tasks that aren't placed yet. From my understanding that metric will never be above 100 like the CapProvider metric can be.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECS on EC2

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Basically we just make sure we have enough overhead on the cluster that tasks can be placed. We would like to run it a little thinner though.

Research direction

Start by reading the AWS deep-dive on Amazon ECS cluster auto scaling and the ECS CloudWatch metrics documentation linked in the request, especially CapacityProviderReservation and ClusterReservation. Confirm how the requested cluster-level metric should include tasks that are not yet placed and support clusters without capacity providers. Done means the proposed behavior and API or metric surface are clearly defined for ECS on EC2.
