Amazon ECS on Fargate Adds Custom Container Stop Signals

🛑 Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) on AWS Fargate now honors container-defined stop signals for Linux tasks by reading the OCI image STOPSIGNAL instruction and sending that signal when a task is stopped. Previously Fargate always sent SIGTERM followed by SIGKILL after the configured timeout, but containers that rely on SIGQUIT, SIGINT, or other signals can now receive their intended shutdown signal. If no STOPSIGNAL is present, ECS continues to default to SIGTERM. Support for container-defined stop signals is available in all AWS Regions and the ECS Developer Guide provides implementation details.

AWS GuardDuty extends threat detection for EC2 and ECS

🔍 AWS announced an update to GuardDuty Extended Threat Detection that adds multistage attack detection for Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon ECS clusters running on Fargate or EC2. The release introduces two critical findings — AttackSequence:EC2/CompromisedInstanceGroup and AttackSequence:ECS/CompromisedCluster — that group related events into a single, high-priority alert. Findings include a summary, event timeline, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, and remediation guidance to speed response. Runtime Monitoring must be enabled for full coverage, and customers can try the feature free for 30 days.
