ECS Explorer is a CLI that allows you to browse and inspect your AWS ECS resources.

The web console for AWS ECS is notoriously bad and kills productivity. I made ECS Explorer to speed up the process of troubleshooting my ECS resources.

ECS Explorer is installed via Pip, the Python package manager.

pip install ecs_explorer

It is then started with the command ecs_explorer. You must have your AWS credentials available either as env variables or in a credentials file.

It also supports assuming STS roles

ecs_explorer --role arn:aws:iam::437692186728:role/myrole
