Why ecs creates volumes inside the container?

I'm using ecs-cli to deploy my docker-compose.yml to ecs.

Why when I defined volumes ecs-cli copy and create files/directories inside the container, rather than in host-ec2-ami? how can I tell the html must be on host-ec2-ami-machine?

./appsy/dockerfile:

FROM nginx:latest

ADD ./index.html /content/index.html

./appsy/index.html:

<div> hello</div>

./docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  web:
    image: 0000000.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/appsy:latest
    volumes:
      - /content:/usr/share/nginx/html
    ports:
      - '80:80'

If you want to reference files/directories on the host from within the container, then you did the correct attempt to use volumes: Your docker-compose.yaml essentially says "mount host /content directory to /usr/share/nginx/html directory in your container".

Note, however, in that case copying index.html into the container (which you do in your Dockerfile) does not make any sense...
