The Elastic Container Service is different from awstool-cli. It is specifically for managing docker containers on AWS.

To install the cli following these instructions.

$ sudo curl -o /usr/local/bin/ecs-cli https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazon-ecs-cli/ecs-cli-linux-amd64-latest

$ echo "$(curl -s https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazon-ecs-cli/ecs-cli-linux-amd64-latest.md5) /usr/local/bin/ecs-cli" | md5sum -c -

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ecs-cli

$ ecs-cli --version

Important

You must configure the ECS CLI with your AWS credentials, an AWS region, and an Amazon ECS cluster name before you can use it.
