Is there a built-in way to run a single task on an existing ECS cluster? I don't think the cloud-sdk

Task

class works for me as AFAICT it wants to create a cluster

It is technically possible to use

cloud.Task

, but you need to set some configuration to indicate you want to use an existing Cluster instead of creating a new one.

cloud-aws:ecsClusterARN

is the main setting, but there are a couple others you may need to provide. See https://pulumi.io/quickstart/cloudfx/index.html. Alternatively, you can use

new aws.ecs.TaskDefinition

and then

runTask

from the Node.js

aws-sdk

at runtime to do this directly using AWS APIs.

Ok i'll look - thanks!
