**Tell us about your request**
This is related to the fluentd support in fargate. The earlier issue https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/383, got closed pointing to firelens.
In our case, the ECS containers forward the logs to a fluentd aggregator which sends the logs into a kinesis stream.
From what I understand firelens does not support kinesis streams yet. So, is there a way to use fluentd directly from fargate containers without using firelens?
Basically, similar to how it works currently for ECS containers.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**

Research direction
Start by reading the referenced containers-roadmap issue #383 and the request's description of ECS containers forwarding logs to a Fluentd aggregator and then Kinesis. Determine whether Fargate can support direct Fluentd logging without FireLens, and document a clear supported approach or the remaining limitation.
