Description
**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?
Would like to make use of `efsVolumeConfiguration` when making use of ECS Anywhere.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECS Anywhere.
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Trying to make use of the amazon-ecs-volume plugin to mount EFS into a task running on an external instance.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
How are you currently solving this problem?
By installing the volume driver manually as per the suggestion [here](https://github.com/aws/amazon-ecs-init/issues/344#issuecomment-671412255).
It currently looks like the ECS agent that comes with ECS Anywhere doesnt install the plugin needed to make use of `efsVolumeConfiguration`.
