I would like to use a cloudformation template to create my ecs cluster instead of spinning it up by hand, but I have yet to find a way. Is this simply not implemented yet, where you can create an ecs cluster as a resource in your cloudformation template, seems a bit odd they did not include that.
How to use cloudformation to create an ecs cluster?

Looks like there is nothing special about ECS that you should not be able to do via cloudformation.
here is a ECS quick stack cf template: https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazon-ecs-cloudformation/Amazon_ECS_Quickstart.template
Checkout: http://www.cloudtp.com/2015/02/04/getting-started-ec2-container-service-ecs/
The key in the cloud formation template is really the AMI id + ECS_CLUSTER definition in /etc/ecs/ecs.config. If you get that right it's basically a normal EC2 CF build.
Also, looks like there are newer AMIs for ECS. Here are the latest: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/launch_container_instance.html
