Amazon Elastic Container Service now supports CPU and memory limits at the Task level

In Amazon Elastic Container Service you can now set a limit to the resources available in a task that is operating on Amazon ECS. A task comprises a group of containers operating together on a single host. Earlier, you had to set a limit on resources for each container operating within a task individually. But now with this latest release, you can set a limit on the number of CPU and memory available to all the containers operating within a task that is managed by the Amazon Elastic Container Service. This makes it convenient to manage the task and it aids you to make task definitions compatible with both EC2 and Fargate launch types.
