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.
