View ECS Clusters from your terminal
orbit lists ECS Clusters as a dense, sortable table: 1 column: Cluster Arn, fetched with ECS:ListClusters.
Read-only is the default, so browsing is safe against a production account. Start orbit with --write and the mutating actions become reachable: Delete Cluster, each behind its own confirmation dialog. Press Enter on a row to drill into ecs services and ecs tasks.
brew install doughlass/homebrew-tap/orbit

Questions about ECS Clusters in orbit
What IAM permissions do I need to view ECS Clusters in orbit?
orbit lists ECS Clusters with ECS:ListClusters, so a policy granting ECS:ListClusters is enough for read-only browsing of this view. The mutating actions (ECS:DeleteCluster) additionally require --write at startup, and their IAM actions.
Is browsing ECS Clusters safe against a production account?
Read-only is the default. Listing and describing ECS Clusters performs no mutations. The write actions on this view (Delete Cluster) are reachable only when orbit is started with --write, each behind its own confirmation.
