We've experienced agent crashes in the past but those seem to have been resolved now. Occasionally we will find a docker container from an old task which is still running, but about which ECS knows nothing. Definitely can make for an interesting troubleshooting adventure.

And it seems like maybe the ECS team is trying to move a little too fast recently. They released this blog which claims the run-task api supports several new override parameters but the backend still doesn't actually do anything with them it just silently ignores them.

i think they were talking about the cli, cause that's what they link to from the blog post. they should be clearer though.
