Description

Being able to provision remote dev containers on Amazon ECS Fargate clusters would greatly streamline working with isolated environments in the AWS cloud. ECS Fargate allows running containers in a fully managed compute environment much like Azure Container Instances.

Similar request to #88 but for Amazon ECS.
