We are. Agent seems pretty solid. Biggest issue I've seen is when doing a new deploy, sometimes old tasks keep running.

Biggest gotcha: tasks restarting over and over because of bad load balancer config on my part (for instance, using 200 as status code when the healthcheck endpoint returns a 302)

Some of what won me over:

* IAM role integration at both instance and task level

* ecs-cli can use docker-compose.yml (with minor revision)

* easy use of spot fleets

* cron support for tasks

* easy to script in control of clusters into your app with AWS SDK

I evaluated Kubernetes, and may give it another look soon, but ECS was pretty easy to get going.
