Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the AWS announcement linked as [1] and review the ECS Event Capture capabilities described there. The issue names no implementation files, tests, or entry points, so inspect the repository structure and existing ECS CloudFormation and CLI roadmap work first. Done would mean ECS Event Capture is supported through both CloudFormation and the AWS CLI.
