Tell us about your request
What do you want us to build?
This request is to build a terminal into the ECS management console to Exec into containers from a browser session instead of using AWS CLI ExecuteCommand.

Which service(s) is this request for?
This could be Fargate, ECS, EKS

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
This is an added convenience to be able to Exec into a container from the console rather than using the AWS CLI commands to exec into the container for troubleshooting. This would be a powerful improvement to ECS, as well as other containerized applications running in AWS, including EKS and Batch.

Are you currently working around this issue?
How are you currently solving this problem?
AWS CLI command line
