Description

**Tell us about your request**
Propagate the tags applied to a task to the ENI when using VPC networking for tasks

**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?**
When there is a need to track the logical owner / service of an IP. If the information is not available on the ENI other option is to poll the ECS-API on a regular basis or react to cloudtrail events and call the ECS-APIs on-demand. This can lead to heavy API usage and throttling.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Working around with polling the ECS-APIs on regular basis, risking missing some IP for short-lived tasks.

**Additional context**

Research direction

Start by reviewing the ECS request for VPC networking and how task tags relate to ENIs; the payload names no source files, tests, or entry points. Done would mean task tags are propagated to the ENI so ownership can be tracked without polling ECS APIs.
