logging

In AWS ECS you can define the log driver in a similar way as you do locally. In ECS Compose-X, default settings will be applied and use awslogs driver by default.

For more information on the docker-compose logging syntax, refer to Docker Compose logging syntax reference

Supported drivers

Currently, any other driver is ignored and AWS Logs is used by default. This is to guarantee deployment success on AWS ECS with AWS Fargate.
