You can simply specify the region the AWS CLI should operate on. Either use the command line parameter --region, like:

aws --region us-east-1 ecs ...

And alternative is to use the environment variable AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, like:

AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1 aws ecs ...

A third option would be to configure multiple profiles for the AWS CLI in ~/.aws/config and set a different region for each profile.
