How to generate Couldformation template in YAML format?

Question

According to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/create-task-definition.html

aws ecs register-task-definition --generate-cli-skeleton will generate a JSON template. Is it possible to generate a YAML template? Or do I need to take the JSON file and convert it?

Answer 1

Based on the current document, it does not support output as YAML.
