Description
**Tell us about your request**
Support writing ContainerDefinition in YAML not just JSON
**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?**
Currently, it only supports JSON schema for defining container tasks' definition.
In CloudFormation, you use YAML, and especially JSON and YAML should be easily convertible, I thought it'd be better that you can use YAML format for ContainerDefinition.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
There's no workarounds here.
**Additional context**
I guess I made my point clear.
