ECS task metadata logic

[smoell]

Describe the feature

For performance measurements in the context of Amazon ECS, the metrics data from the task metadata endpoint can be used. Unfortunately, there is no direct AWS SDK support for this, which means that the logic itself has to be implemented.

Is your Feature Request related to a problem?

It is a common task to get ECS metadata for introspection purposes. On GitHub there are several implementations for this issue, AWS should provide a standardized implementation.

Proposed Solution

Implement a service to connect with the ECS metadata endpoint and return a Java object/a list of Java objects wrapping the JSON data.

Hi @smoell I'm not familiar with ECS Task metadata, assuming you're talking about this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task-metadata-endpoint.html

So this would be something similar to the EC2 Metadata Client.

To anyone following this issue, please show your interest by adding a 👍 to the original description.

We identified this as a feature that should be supported across all SDKs. Transferring this to the aws-sdk repo for visibility.

Transferring back to the Java SDK v2 repo.
