Modify the desired count or task definition used in a service.
You can add to or subtract from the number of instantiations of a task definition in a service by specifying the cluster that the service is running in and a new desiredCount parameter.
You can use UpdateService to modify your task definition and deploy a new version of your service, one task at a time. If you modify the task definition with UpdateService, Amazon ECS spawns a task with the new version of the task definition and then stops an old task after the new version is running. Because UpdateService starts a new version of the task before stopping an old version, your cluster must have capacity to support one more instantiation of the task when UpdateService is run. If your cluster cannot support another instantiation of the task used in your service, you can reduce the desired count of your service by one before modifying the task definition.

taskDefinitionArn (string) --
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the of the task definition.
containerDefinitions (list) --
A list of container definitions in JSON format that describe the different containers that make up your task. For more information on container definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon EC2 Container Service Developer Guide.
(dict) --
Container definitions are used in task definitions to describe the different containers that are launched as part of a task.
name (string) --
The name of a container. If you are linking multiple containers together in a task definition, the name of one container can be entered in the links of another container to connect the containers.
image (string) --
The image used to start a container. This string is passed directly to the Docker daemon. Images in the Docker Hub registry are available by default. Other repositories are specified with repository-url/image:tag.
cpu (integer) --
The number of cpu units reserved for the container. A container instance has 1,024 cpu units for every CPU core.
memory (integer) --
The number of MiB of memory reserved for the container. Docker will allocate a minimum of 4 MiB of memory to a container.
links (list) --
The link parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings, using the name parameter. For more information on linking Docker containers, see https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockerlinks/.
(string) --
portMappings (list) --
The list of port mappings for the container.
(dict) --
Port mappings allow containers to access ports on the host container instance to send or receive traffic. Port mappings are specified as part of the container definition.
containerPort (integer) --
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port. If you specify a container port and not a host port, your container will automatically receive a host port in the 49153 to 65535 port range.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container. You can specify a non-reserved host port for your container port mapping, or you can omit the hostPort while specifying a containerPort and your container will automatically receive a port in the 49153 to 65535 port range. You should not attempt to specify a host port in the 49153 to 65535 port range, since these are reserved for automatic assignment.
The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS Container Agent port 51678. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running (once a task stops, the host port is released).The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources of DescribeContainerInstances output, and a container instance may have up to 50 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports (automatically assigned ports do not count toward this limit).
essential (boolean) --
If the essential parameter of a container is marked as true, the failure of that container will stop the task. If the essential parameter of a container is marked as false, then its failure will not affect the rest of the containers in a task.

Data volumes to mount from another container.
(dict) --
sourceContainer (string) --
The name of the container to mount volumes from.
readOnly (boolean) --
If this value is true, the container has read-only access to the volume. If this value is false, then the container can write to the volume. The default value is false.

The family of your task definition. You can think of the family as the name of your task definition.
revision (integer) --
The revision of the task in a particular family. You can think of the revision as a version number of a task definition in a family. When you register a task definition for the first time, the revision is 1, and each time you register a task definition in the same family, the revision value increases by one.

A list of container definitions in JSON format that describe the different containers that make up your task. For more information on container definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon EC2 Container Service Developer Guide.
(dict) --
Container definitions are used in task definitions to describe the different containers that are launched as part of a task.
name (string) --
The name of a container. If you are linking multiple containers together in a task definition, the name of one container can be entered in the links of another container to connect the containers.
image (string) --
The image used to start a container. This string is passed directly to the Docker daemon. Images in the Docker Hub registry are available by default. Other repositories are specified with repository-url/image:tag.
cpu (integer) --
The number of cpu units reserved for the container. A container instance has 1,024 cpu units for every CPU core.
memory (integer) --
The number of MiB of memory reserved for the container. Docker will allocate a minimum of 4 MiB of memory to a container.
links (list) --
The link parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings, using the name parameter. For more information on linking Docker containers, see https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockerlinks/.
(string) --
portMappings (list) --
The list of port mappings for the container.
(dict) --
Port mappings allow containers to access ports on the host container instance to send or receive traffic. Port mappings are specified as part of the container definition.
containerPort (integer) --
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port. If you specify a container port and not a host port, your container will automatically receive a host port in the 49153 to 65535 port range.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container. You can specify a non-reserved host port for your container port mapping, or you can omit the hostPort while specifying a containerPort and your container will automatically receive a port in the 49153 to 65535 port range. You should not attempt to specify a host port in the 49153 to 65535 port range, since these are reserved for automatic assignment.
The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS Container Agent port 51678. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running (once a task stops, the host port is released).The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources of DescribeContainerInstances output, and a container instance may have up to 50 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports (automatically assigned ports do not count toward this limit).
essential (boolean) --
If the essential parameter of a container is marked as true, the failure of that container will stop the task. If the essential parameter of a container is marked as false, then its failure will not affect the rest of the containers in a task.

Data volumes to mount from another container.
(dict) --
sourceContainer (string) --
The name of the container to mount volumes from.
readOnly (boolean) --
If this value is true, the container has read-only access to the volume. If this value is false, then the container can write to the volume. The default value is false.

The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port. If you specify a container port and not a host port, your container will automatically receive a host port in the 49153 to 65535 port range.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container. You can specify a non-reserved host port for your container port mapping, or you can omit the hostPort while specifying a containerPort and your container will automatically receive a port in the 49153 to 65535 port range. You should not attempt to specify a host port in the 49153 to 65535 port range, since these are reserved for automatic assignment.
The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS Container Agent port 51678. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running (once a task stops, the host port is released).The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources of DescribeContainerInstances output, and a container instance may have up to 50 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports (automatically assigned ports do not count toward this limit).
essential (boolean) --

Response Structure
(dict) --
taskDefinition (dict) --
taskDefinitionArn (string) --
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the of the task definition.
containerDefinitions (list) --
A list of container definitions in JSON format that describe the different containers that make up your task. For more information on container definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon EC2 Container Service Developer Guide.
(dict) --
Container definitions are used in task definitions to describe the different containers that are launched as part of a task.
name (string) --
The name of a container. If you are linking multiple containers together in a task definition, the name of one container can be entered in the links of another container to connect the containers.
image (string) --
The image used to start a container. This string is passed directly to the Docker daemon. Images in the Docker Hub registry are available by default. Other repositories are specified with repository-url/image:tag.
cpu (integer) --
The number of cpu units reserved for the container. A container instance has 1,024 cpu units for every CPU core.
memory (integer) --
The number of MiB of memory reserved for the container. Docker will allocate a minimum of 4 MiB of memory to a container.
links (list) --
The link parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings, using the name parameter. For more information on linking Docker containers, see https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockerlinks/.
(string) --
portMappings (list) --
The list of port mappings for the container.
(dict) --
Port mappings allow containers to access ports on the host container instance to send or receive traffic. Port mappings are specified as part of the container definition.
containerPort (integer) --
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port. If you specify a container port and not a host port, your container will automatically receive a host port in the 49153 to 65535 port range.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container. You can specify a non-reserved host port for your container port mapping, or you can omit the hostPort while specifying a containerPort and your container will automatically receive a port in the 49153 to 65535 port range. You should not attempt to specify a host port in the 49153 to 65535 port range, since these are reserved for automatic assignment.
The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS Container Agent port 51678. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running (once a task stops, the host port is released).The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources of DescribeContainerInstances output, and a container instance may have up to 50 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports (automatically assigned ports do not count toward this limit).
essential (boolean) --
If the essential parameter of a container is marked as true, the failure of that container will stop the task. If the essential parameter of a container is marked as false, then its failure will not affect the rest of the containers in a task.
entryPoint (list) --
The ENTRYPOINT that is passed to the container. For more information on the Docker ENTRYPOINT parameter, see https://docs.docker.com/reference/builder/#entrypoint.
(string) --
command (list) --
The CMD that is passed to the container. For more information on the Docker CMD parameter, see https://docs.docker.com/reference/builder/#cmd.
(string) --
environment (list) --
The environment variables to pass to a container.
(dict) --
name (string) --
The name of the key value pair.
value (string) --
The value of the key value pair.
mountPoints (list) --
The mount points for data volumes in your container.
(dict) --
sourceVolume (string) --
The name of the volume to mount.
containerPath (string) --
The path on the container to mount the host volume at.
readOnly (boolean) --
If this value is true, the container has read-only access to the volume. If this value is false, then the container can write to the volume. The default value is false.
volumesFrom (list) --
Data volumes to mount from another container.
(dict) --
sourceContainer (string) --
The name of the container to mount volumes from.
readOnly (boolean) --
If this value is true, the container has read-only access to the volume. If this value is false, then the container can write to the volume. The default value is false.
family (string) --
The family of your task definition. You can think of the family as the name of your task definition.
revision (integer) --
The revision of the task in a particular family. You can think of the revision as a version number of a task definition in a family. When you register a task definition for the first time, the revision is 1, and each time you register a task definition in the same family, the revision value increases by one.
volumes (list) --
The list of volumes in a task. For more information on volume definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon EC2 Container Service Developer Guide.
(dict) --
name (string) --
The name of the volume. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints.
host (dict) --
The path on the host container instance that is presented to the containers which access the volume. If this parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon assigns a host path for you.
sourcePath (string) --
The path on the host container instance that is presented to the container. If this parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon has assigned a host path for you.
Creates a new Amazon ECS cluster. By default, your account will receive a default cluster when you launch your first container instance. However, you can create your own cluster with a unique name with the CreateCluster action.
Request Syntax
client.create_cluster(
clusterName='string'
)
string
The name of your cluster. If you do not specify a name for your cluster, you will create a cluster named default. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.

Response Structure
(dict) --
cluster (dict) --
The full description of your new cluster.
clusterArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the cluster. The ARN contains the arn:aws:ecs namespace, followed by the region of the cluster, the AWS account ID of the cluster owner, the cluster namespace, and then the cluster name. For example, arn:aws:ecs:region:012345678910:cluster/test.
clusterName (string) --
A user-generated string that you can use to identify your cluster.
status (string) --
The status of the cluster. The valid values are ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE indicates that you can register container instances with the cluster and the associated instances can accept tasks.
