Docker context create

docker context create ecs myecscontext
docker: 'docker context create' requires 1 argument

Usage:  docker context create [OPTIONS] CONTEXT

Run 'docker context create --help' for more information

I didn't find any resources about this problem on the Windows platform. Any recommendations?

According to https://docs.docker.com/retired/

Docker previously offered integrations for Amazon's Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Azure Container Instances (ACI) to streamline container workflows. These integrations have been deprecated, and users should now rely on native cloud tools or third-party solutions to manage their workloads. The move toward platform-specific or universal orchestration tools reduced the need for specialized Docker Cloud integrations.
