Describe the feature

Amazon Elastic Container Services (Amazon ECS) now improves container resiliency by giving you the ability to define a flexible container restart policy for restarting individual containers locally, without requiring a full task relaunch. With local container restarts, Amazon ECS can recover your containers from unexpected failures within a few seconds, enhancing your overall task stability by avoiding unnecessary task relaunches.

Use Case

automated container restarts in-place to recover your containers from transient failures such as network disruption or cases where your containers stop unexpectedly

Proposed Solution

Restart policy configuration is added to container definition in task definition. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task_definition_parameters.html#container_definition_restart_policy

Apparently CFn still does not support it yet though. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ecs-taskdefinition-containerdefinition.html Maybe they are just updating docs?
