Background: I'm running docker-compose ecs locally and need to ensure I use Spot instances due to my hobbyist budget.

Question: How do I determine and guarantee that instances are running as Fargate Spot instances?

Evidence:

I have setup the default capacity provider strategy as FARGATE_SPOT I have both the default-created capacity providers 'FARGATE' and 'FARGATE_SPOT'

capacity providers default strategy

aws-fargate amazon-web-services

You can see this in the web console when you view a specific task:

To find this page open click on your cluster from within ECS, then go to the "Tasks" tab and click on the task id.

You can also see this through the aws cli:

aws ecs describe-tasks --cluster <your cluster name> --tasks <your task id> | grep capacityProviderName
