Using service-linked roles for Amazon ECS

Amazon Elastic Container Service uses AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service-linked roles. A service-linked role is a unique type of IAM role that is linked directly to Amazon ECS. Service-linked roles are predefined by Amazon ECS and include all the permissions that the service requires to call other AWS services on your behalf.
