ecs-deploy step doesn't allow specifying image tag

[nk9]

There is no way to pass the image tag to the ecs-deploy step, although the underlying tool does accept the --image-tag argument. This means that the only vanilla ECS step available in the Marketplace doesn't actually work for the most common pipeline scenario (build new code, create image, deploy new image to ECS).

It took me several days of communicating with support to work this out.

For anyone who runs into this before the step is fixed, the solution is to use a freestyle step as described in the ECS/Fargate example.
