Features and Enhancements:
- Import internal ALBs for Backend Services (#5490)
(You can now import your existing internal application load balancer (ALB) for a Backend Service if you don't want to use the environment-shared internal ALB that Copilot creates for your Backend Services with http enabled. Just specify the name or ARN of the ALB in the http.alb field,and Copilot will figure out if it has an HTTP listener, an HTTPS listener, or both. Copilot will then create the appropriate listener rules and target group to send traffic to your Backend Service!)

⚡️ Features and Enhancements
- run local --use-task-role: Elevate your local testing experience with the ECS Task Role using the new --use-task-role flag (#5529)The copilot run local command now includes a --use-task-role flag. When activated, Copilot will fetch IAM permissions from your deployed service and seamlessly inject them into the containers created by run local. This ensures that your containers mirror the same permissions as they would in the cloud, facilitating more accurate testing.
If you prefer not to utilize the TaskRole permissions or if Copilot encounters issues retrieving them, you can disable this feature by setting --use-task-role=false.
