Just +1 the report instead of adding another comment that contributes nothing to the issue discussion. Otherwise all you’re doing is generating spurious notifications for people watching this issue. Thanks.

Can we expect a time frame when we can expect to have this support in CloudFormation? Since it's already supported by the APIs and in the AWS Console, i'm guessing it's just a matter of updating the YAML/JSON schema and adding some constraints to allow the HealthCheck feature.

The issue is that since we can't really update an existing TaskDefinition to add the healthcheck ourselves via CustomLambda resource, this becomes an issue and we're left with no other choice but to either drop this amazing health check feature or write the Custom Lambda to implement all the logic to create the TaskDefinition ourselves via the API and this is too much of a hassle to do compared to doing it in CloudFormation.

Anxiously waiting for this feature soon! Thanks!

Thanks for the patience, the cloudformation support for HealthCheck has been released as documented here. Closing this issue.
