Confusion over ecsInstanceRole role for ECS


From reading https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/instance_IAM_role.html it mentions creating a role called ecsInstanceRole which can then be applied to the running containers. If it needs to be created i.e. it isn't a built in AWS role, does the name matter? Is there something important about the name that I'm missing or is this just a recommended naming convention?


Solution

  • The name is just following suggestive naming conventions, feel free to name it as you like.
