Start an ECS Standalone task, wait for it to complete and get it's logs from CloudWatch.
This package mimics the aws ecs run-task aws-cli command and awaits it's execution.
Made for personal use, but if it suites your needs you are welcome to use it.
NPM Package available for use within your code.
You need to have an ECS Cluster as well as a task definition created for your task along with container definitions and optionally a log group where it's container writes the log events.
To use the GitHub Action, you'll need to add it as a step in your workflow file.
