Cluster Auto Scaling

ECS Cluster Auto Scaling is now GA. It would make sense to add that once support is added in CloudFormation.

Cluster Auto Scaling may also remove the need for a dedicated container instance draining lifecycle hook.

Yes, I was about to ask about this, as capacity providers are now generally available.

I was wondering if there are any planned updates for modifying this sample stack to use capacity providers instead.

CloudFormation seems to support them now:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ecs-capacityprovider-autoscalinggroupprovider.html
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ecs-capacityprovider-managedscaling.html

It would be really cool if we can have an example!

Cuz I'm still experiencing issues with unbalanced tasks on different instances:

Thank you very much in advance!
