Can I use this for running database migrations?

Absolutely; it provides patterns for running one-off tasks with container overrides, which is the standard approach for running migrations or batch jobs in ECS.

Is error handling included for API calls?

Yes, it features robust error handling patterns for catching specific Boto3 exceptions like ClusterNotFoundException and general BotoCore connection errors.

How do I manage secrets with this skill?

It includes patterns for integrating AWS Secrets Manager directly into container definitions, ensuring sensitive data is never passed as plain-text environment variables.

Does this skill support AWS Fargate?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for Fargate and Fargate Spot capacity providers, which are the recommended launch types for serverless container management.

Does it handle deployment rollbacks?
