+# A systemd unit file to run `ecs-agent` in a Docker container. This service
+# attempts to duplicate the functionality of the `ecs-init` Golang package. The
+# notable differences currently are:
+#
+# 1. The unit file downloads the latest ECS Agent from
+# S3 at startup, if the files (ECS Agent tar / MD5 hash) are missing.
+# 2. The unit file does not currently handle the Agent's self-upgrade
+# functionality.
+# 3. The unit file does not clean up downloaded ECS Agents in /var/cache/ecs.
+
+[Unit]
+Description=Amazon ECS Agent
+Documentation=https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ECS_agent.html
+Requires=docker.service
+After=docker.service

+WantedBy=multi-user.target

+[Service]
+# The logic around the ECS Agent restart:
+#   - Restart on failure
+#   - Wait 5 seconds between restart
+#   - If the ECS Agent restarts more then 10 times in 5 minutes,
+# it will stay failed
+Type=simple
+Restart=on-failure
+RestartSec=5s
+RestartPreventExitStatus=5
+StartLimitInterval=5min

+
+# It is recommended in production to version pin the ECS Agent 
+# to a known version vs running the latest flag on the docker container.
+# See https://github.com/aws/amazon-ecs-agent/releases for agent versions.
+
+# It is recommended to use a systemd drop-in file vs editing this line or file.

+#       Environment=ECS_AGENT_VERSION=v1.17.2
+#
+# Depending on the OS, it could be placed in
