Can't set AWS ECS service auto scaling in Console

Question

I am experimenting with the AWS CLI for application-autoscaling, and wanted to view how making changes in the CLI were reflected in the AWS console.

I set register-scalable-target with new a new minimum and maximum. When I updated the same service in the AWS Console, why is there no option to set autoscaling minimum and maximum values?

Answer 1

Found the answer! The autoscaling page is not (yet?) available in the "New ECS Experience." If you switch to the "classic" experience by flipping the toggle in the upper-left corner to the off position, then edit the service, you will see the autoscaling page.

(The page will also show the values set with the AWS CLI 'application-autoscaling register-scalable-target' command.)
