Amazon Web Services (AWS) developers using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) can now use IntelliSense to write Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) task definitions. This can save you lots of time by avoiding manual typing and catching easy to miss errors. These changes are already available in the VS Code toolkit for AWS so current users who have auto updates enabled don’t need to install anything to get this functionality.

Visual Studio Code is a popular editor among developers using containers and open source technologies. We aim to improve the productivity of developers using these tools at the beginning of the development life cycle. IntelliSense for Amazon ECS offers auto completion, flagging errors and missing required properties in creating task definitions. Along with IntelliSense for writing a DockerFile and a CloudFormation template, this simplifies the creation of all artifacts needed for an Amazon ECS deployment.
