Here is my problem:

I have a task running a Docker image on Amazon ECS but I would like to make a new Docker image from the running instance of the container.

I see the id of the instance on Amazon ECS; I have made an AMI but I would like to make a new docker image that I can pull from Amazon.

Any ideas?

Regards and thanks.
