# ecs-run

Run a task on AWS ECS and stream output.

As input this takes an existing cluster and service and runs a task with the same subnets and execution role, but with a different command.

This can for example be used to run a rake task on a Rails service in ECS.

## Usage

```

ecs-run 0.2.0

Erik Dalén 

USAGE:

    ecs-run [OPTIONS]   ...

FLAGS:

    -h, --help       Prints help information

    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:

    -n, --name     Name of container to run command in

    -E, --env ...        Environment variable to pass to container, VAR=value

ARGS:

           Name of cluster to run in

           Service to base task on

    ...    Command to run

```

### Using docker

This can be run using Docker in the folloging way:

```

docker run --rm -it -v ~/.aws:/root/.aws:ro -e AWS_PROFILE -e AWS_REGION -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION edalen/ecs-run   

```

If you have the credentials set as environment variables you might need to forward them as well, by adding `-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` etc.

If you run it in CodeBuild you have to pass the `AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI` to give it access to the IAM role.
