title: AWS Cloudformation: Set up ECS cluster with parameters
body: <p>According to the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-ecs-cluster.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official CF/ECS documentation</a>, the ECS Cluster resource takes <strong>no parameters at all</strong> (!).</p>
  
  <p>However, when setting up a cluster via AWS console, there are several (and critical!) parameters that one defines (e.g. no of instances, instance types etc etc)</p>
  
  <p>How is it possible to define a cluster properly via CloudFormation?</p>
  
  <p>Why such a huge discrepancy between CF and console on this resource?</p>
