What's this
In the vast world of AWS, managing ECS resources can sometimes be a daunting task. Enter ecsplorer, a tool specifically designed to simplify CLI operations with AWS ECS. This utility aims to streamline the process of managing AWS ECS resources and services.
This tool allows you to easily view AWS ECS resources through your terminal. With it, you can:
- View ECS resources such as clusters, services, tasks, etc.
- Exec into containers
You no longer need to log into the AWS Console for ECS operations or to retrieve resource information for ECS Exec.
Real-world Use Cases
Imagine having to quickly diagnose an issue with a specific container or needing to view the status of tasks within a cluster. Instead of navigating through the AWS Console, ecsplorer provides a streamlined terminal interface to access this information swiftly.
How Does ecsplorer Stand Out?
While there are several tools available for managing AWS ECS resources, ecsplorer offers a unique terminal-based user interface, making it stand out for users who prefer TUI over GUI. Its intuitive design and quick access commands make it a favorite among many AWS professionals.

- via go install
$ go install github.com/masaushi/ecsplorer@latest
- via homebrew

Upcoming Features
In the future, I plan to enhance the tool with the following features:

ECS is truly remarkable. I hope this tool makes your ECS operations easier and boosts your productivity!
