AppSpec Files and ECS

For ECS, the appspec file is used to specify:

• the name of the Amazon ECS service and the container name and the port used to direct traffic to the new task set.
• The functions to be used as validation tests. Validation Lambda functions can be used after deployment lifecycle events.
