AWS ECS Fargate adds streaming image support

If you use Fargate and have Linux x86 tasks with images over 250Mb, you might be interested in this new feature that should shave time off of your task deployments.

One of our clients had just switch all of their tasks over to ARM to cut costs, but they always want a faster deployment pipeline. I might have to give this a try and see if there is a big benefit.

I suspect the networking will become the main source of delay as i remember it taking 1-2 minutes to finish.
