execs

Introduction

execs is a program that helps you to access the ECS task interactively by using the ssm session-manager-plugin. It uses the ECS execute command API with the command /bin/sh. It also highly refer the similar and pre-existing program ecsgo but uses the AWS SDK for GO v2. Since the motivation for developing the program is personal purpose to study about Golang, the program could be unstable.
