Is it possible to register a task definition without deploying the service?

I would like to have more control over deployments to production environments and just use GitHub actions to push a new image to ECR and register a new task definition using that image.

I think an option just to register the task definition could be useful in case we want to have it ready on ECS but not deploy it right away.

A param like only-register could be very handy in this situation.

- name: Deploy to Amazon ECS
  uses: aws-actions/amazon-ecs-deploy-task-definition@v1
  with:
    task-definition: task-definition.json
    service: my-service
    cluster: my-cluster
    only-register: true

After digging into the actions.yml file I found that if the service param is not provided, the action will only register the task definition.

I'm closing this since the functionality is already available, this could be included in the README though. 😄
