DESCRIPTION

e1s is a terminal user interface for Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service), inspired by k9s for Kubernetes. It provides a real-time dashboard for monitoring ECS clusters, services, tasks, and containers.
The tool allows users to view resource status, view logs, execute commands in containers, and manage deployments without leaving the terminal. It integrates with AWS credentials and supports multiple profiles and regions.
