# ECS Operation Review
This skill performs a structured, evidence-based operational-excellence assessment of a **live** Amazon ECS estate — clusters, capacity providers, services, task definitions, and their supporting AWS resources — and produces a rated report (GREEN / AMBER / RED / UNKNOWN / N/A) with prioritized, cited recommendations.
It is the **umbrella Day-2 audit** that walks the major domains of the Amazon ECS Best Practices Guide ([`ecs-best-practices.html`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-best-practices.html)). It is evaluative (it *grades* what exists), not generative — it does not design or build new environments, and it **defers to the deep ECS skills** for remediation depth rather than duplicating them (see "Defers to deep skills").
**This skill is for Amazon ECS only. Skip it for EKS / Kubernetes estates — use `eks-operation-review` instead.**
### Scope & limitations (known blind spots)
This review is deliberately bounded. It does **not** currently assess, and should state as out-of-scope in the report:
- **Scheduled and standalone tasks** — the audit enumerates workloads via `list-services`; EventBridge-scheduled tasks and one-off `run-task` workloads are not examined.
- **ECS Express Mode** services — their ALB, security groups, and deployment config are auto-managed by AWS, so checks 2.2 / 4.x / 5.2 would mis-rate them. Mark N/A.
- **Windows and ECS Anywhere (`EXTERNAL`) workloads** — several container-hardening and ru
