Amazon ECS Managed Policies and Trust Relationships
Amazon ECS provides several managed policies and trust relationships that you can attach to IAM users, EC2 instances, or Amazon ECS tasks that allow differing levels of control over Amazon ECS resources and API operations. You can apply these policies directly, or you can use them as starting points for creating your own policies. For more information about each API operation mentioned in these policies, see Actions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service API Reference.

AmazonECS_FullAccess
This managed policy provides administrative access to Amazon ECS resources and enables ECS features through access to other AWS service resources, including VPCs, Auto Scaling groups, and AWS CloudFormation stacks.

AmazonEC2ContainerServiceFullAccess
The AmazonEC2ContainerServiceFullAccess managed IAM policy is
deprecated beginning on January 29, 2020 in response to a security finding with the
iam:passRole permission which grants access to all resources
including credentials to roles in the account. Once the policy is deprecated,
you won't be able to attach the policy to any new IAM users or roles. Any
existing users or roles that have the policy attached will be able to continue
using it, however we recommend updating your IAM users or roles to use the
AmazonECS_FullAccess managed policy instead.
This managed policy allows full administrator access to Amazon ECS.
