How to Create Cluster Task & Service for Elastic Container Service on Amazon Web Service(AWS).

A task is the instantiation of a task definition within a cluster. After we have created a task definition for application within Amazon ECS, we can specify the number of tasks to run on cluster.

An Amazon ECS service allows we can run and maintain a specified number of instances of a task definition simultaneously in an Amazon ECS cluster.
