How to scale down an AWS ECS instance to 0 so it can be deleted
Raw
ecs_delete_service.md

  1. Using service-definition.json, find the values of serviceName and cluster

  2. Run the following:

    aws ecs update-service --service <serviceName> --cluster <cluster> --desired-count 0

  3. This scales down the service to 0 so it can be stopped:

    aws ecs delete-service --cluster <cluster> --service <serviceName>
