Certain instance types not supported about amazon-ecs-cli HOT 8 CLOSED

t2.xlarge, t2.2xlarge are also missing from the template.

from amazon-ecs-cli.

Actually, I found the cloudformation template. It's defining these supported instance types:

"EcsInstanceType": {
      "Type": "String",
      "Description": "ECS EC2 instance type",
      "Default": "t2.micro",
      "AllowedValues": [
        "t2.micro",
        "t2.small",
        "t2.medium",
        "t2.large",
        "m3.medium",
        "m3.large",
        "m3.xlarge",
        "m3.2xlarge",
        "c4.large",
        "c4.xlarge",
        "c4.2xlarge",
        "c4.4xlarge",
        "c4.8xlarge",
        "c3.large",
        "c3.xlarge",
        "c3.2xlarge",
        "c3.4xlarge",
        "c3.8xlarge",
        "r3.large",
        "r3.xlarge",
        "r3.2xlarge",
        "r3.4xlarge",
        "r3.8xlarge",
        "i2.xlarge",
        "i2.2xlarge",
        "i2.4xlarge",
        "i2.8xlarge"
      ]

Any particular reason m4.* is not supported?

@dtest There is no specific reason why m4.* is not supported; I think we just missed including it in the list.

The same goes for i3.* instances. Could those be added too?

from amazon-ecs-cli.

For me, I found that the instances are in the list, but it failed due to the VPC not supporting those instance types. If you do a list, you will see the error (in my case.)
