I'm new to using labels with Docker containers, but I noticed that the labels I add to my images during build are ignored by ECS when I deploy a task definition.
I can see that I can add the labels to the container as part of the task definition, but is there any way to make ECS respect the labels embedded in the image? Specifically, I would like to be able to see them when I inspect a running task.
Currently the task just lists "Docker labels – not configured" under the container's properties in the console, and doesn't include them when I use the CLI to describe the task-definition, service, or the running container instance.

Does your task include the "labels" item at the correct level (i.e. in the "volumes" section)?
This should actually be the same as issuing:
