2019/11/20 - Amazon EC2 Container Service - 12 updated api methods
Changes Added support for CPU and memory task-level overrides on the RunTask and StartTask APIs. Added location information to Tasks.
{'taskDefinition': {'inferenceAccelerators': [{'deviceName': 'string',
'deviceType': 'string'}]}}
Deregisters the specified task definition by family and revision. Upon deregistration, the task definition is marked as INACTIVE . Existing tasks and services that reference an INACTIVE task definition continue to run without disruption. Existing services that reference an INACTIVE task definition can still scale up or down by modifying the service's desired count.
You cannot use an INACTIVE task definition to run new tasks or create new services, and you cannot update an existing service to reference an INACTIVE task definition. However, there may be up to a 10-minute window following deregistration where these restrictions have not yet taken effect.
Note
At this time, INACTIVE task definitions remain discoverable in your account indefinitely. However, this behavior is subject to change in the future, so you should not rely on INACTIVE task definitions persisting beyond the lifecycle of any associated tasks and services.

Response Structure
(dict) --
taskDefinition (dict) --
The full description of the deregistered task.
taskDefinitionArn (string) --
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) 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 about container definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon Elastic 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. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. This parameter maps to name in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --name option to docker run.
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 either repository-url/image:tag or repository-url/image@digest . Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, periods, forward slashes, and number signs are allowed. This parameter maps to Image in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the IMAGE parameter of docker run.
When a new task starts, the Amazon ECS container agent pulls the latest version of the specified image and tag for the container to use. However, subsequent updates to a repository image are not propagated to already running tasks.
Images in Amazon ECR repositories can be specified by either using the full registry/repository:tag or registry/repository@digest . For example, 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:latest or 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>@sha256:94afd1f2e64d908bc90dbca0035a5b567EXAMPLE .
Images in official repositories on Docker Hub use a single name (for example, ubuntu or mongo ).
Images in other repositories on Docker Hub are qualified with an organization name (for example, amazon/amazon-ecs-agent ).
Images in other online repositories are qualified further by a domain name (for example, quay.io/assemblyline/ubuntu ).
repositoryCredentials (dict) --
The private repository authentication credentials to use.
credentialsParameter (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret containing the private repository credentials.
Note
When you are using the Amazon ECS API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK, if the secret exists in the same Region as the task that you are launching then you can use either the full ARN or the name of the secret. When you are using the AWS Management Console, you must specify the full ARN of the secret.
cpu (integer) --
The number of cpu units reserved for the container. This parameter maps to CpuShares in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --cpu-shares option to docker run.
This field is optional for tasks using the Fargate launch type, and the only requirement is that the total amount of CPU reserved for all containers within a task be lower than the task-level cpu value.
Note
You can determine the number of CPU units that are available per EC2 instance type by multiplying the vCPUs listed for that instance type on the Amazon EC2 Instances detail page by 1,024.
For example, if you run a single-container task on a single-core instance type with 512 CPU units specified for that container, and that is the only task running on the container instance, that container could use the full 1,024 CPU unit share at any given time. However, if you launched another copy of the same task on that container instance, each task would be guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed, and each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it, but if both tasks were 100% active all of the time, they would be limited to 512 CPU units.
Linux containers share unallocated CPU units with other containers on the container instance with the same ratio as their allocated amount. For example, if you run a single-container task on a single-core instance type with 512 CPU units specified for that container, and that is the only task running on the container instance, that container could use the full 1,024 CPU unit share at any given time. However, if you launched another copy of the same task on that container instance, each task would be guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed, and each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it, but if both tasks were 100% active all of the time, they would be limited to 512 CPU units.
On Linux container instances, the Docker daemon on the container instance uses the CPU value to calculate the relative CPU share ratios for running containers. For more information, see CPU share constraint in the Docker documentation. The minimum valid CPU share value that the Linux kernel allows is 2. However, the CPU parameter is not required, and you can use CPU values below 2 in your container definitions. For CPU values below 2 (including null), the behavior varies based on your Amazon ECS container agent version:
Agent versions less than or equal to 1.1.0: Null and zero CPU values are passed to Docker as 0, which Docker then converts to 1,024 CPU shares. CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 1, which the Linux kernel converts to two CPU shares.
Agent versions greater than or equal to 1.2.0: Null, zero, and CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 2.
On Windows container instances, the CPU limit is enforced as an absolute limit, or a quota. Windows containers only have access to the specified amount of CPU that is described in the task definition.
memory (integer) --
The amount (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. The total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task must be lower than the task memory value, if one is specified. This parameter maps to Memory in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory option to docker run.
If using the Fargate launch type, this parameter is optional.
If using the EC2 launch type, you must specify either a task-level memory value or a container-level memory value. If you specify both a container-level memory and memoryReservation value, memory must be greater than memoryReservation . If you specify memoryReservation , then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance on which the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory is used.
The Docker daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container, so you should not specify fewer than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
memoryReservation (integer) --
The soft limit (in MiB) of memory to reserve for the container. When system memory is under heavy contention, Docker attempts to keep the container memory to this soft limit. However, your container can consume more memory when it needs to, up to either the hard limit specified with the memory parameter (if applicable), or all of the available memory on the container instance, whichever comes first. This parameter maps to MemoryReservation in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory-reservation option to docker run.
If a task-level memory value is not specified, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in a container definition. If you specify both, memory must be greater than memoryReservation . If you specify memoryReservation , then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance on which the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory is used.
For example, if your container normally uses 128 MiB of memory, but occasionally bursts to 256 MiB of memory for short periods of time, you can set a memoryReservation of 128 MiB, and a memory hard limit of 300 MiB. This configuration would allow the container to only reserve 128 MiB of memory from the remaining resources on the container instance, but also allow the container to consume more memory resources when needed.
The Docker daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container, so you should not specify fewer than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
links (list) --
The links parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings. This parameter is only supported if the network mode of a task definition is bridge . The name:internalName construct is analogous to name:alias in Docker links. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. For more information about linking Docker containers, go to Legacy container links in the Docker documentation. This parameter maps to Links in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --link option to docker run.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
Warning
Containers that are collocated on a single container instance may be able to communicate with each other without requiring links or host port mappings. Network isolation is achieved on the container instance using security groups and VPC settings.
(string) --
portMappings (list) --
The list of port mappings for the container. Port mappings allow containers to access ports on the host container instance to send or receive traffic.
For task definitions that use the awsvpc network mode, you should only specify the containerPort . The hostPort can be left blank or it must be the same value as the containerPort .
Port mappings on Windows use the NetNAT gateway address rather than localhost . There is no loopback for port mappings on Windows, so you cannot access a container's mapped port from the host itself.
This parameter maps to PortBindings in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --publish option to docker run. If the network mode of a task definition is set to none , then you can't specify port mappings. If the network mode of a task definition is set to host , then host ports must either be undefined or they must match the container port in the port mapping.
Note
After a task reaches the RUNNING status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the Network Bindings section of a container description for a selected task in the Amazon ECS console. The assignments are also visible in the networkBindings section DescribeTasks responses.
(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.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort . The hostPort can be left blank or it must be the same value as the containerPort .
After a task reaches the RUNNING status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the networkBindings section of DescribeTasks API responses.
containerPort (integer) --
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort .
If you are using containers in a task with the bridge network mode and you specify a container port and not a host port, your container automatically receives a host port in the ephemeral port range. For more information, see hostPort . Port mappings that are automatically assigned in this way do not count toward the 100 reserved ports limit of a container instance.
Warning
You cannot expose the same container port for multiple protocols. An error will be returned if this is attempted.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, the hostPort can either be left blank or set to the same value as the containerPort .
If you are using containers in a task with the bridge network mode, you can specify a non-reserved host port for your container port mapping, or you can omit the hostPort (or set it to 0 ) while specifying a containerPort and your container automatically receives a port in the ephemeral port range for your container instance operating system and Docker version.
The default ephemeral port range for Docker version 1.6.0 and later is listed on the instance under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range . If this kernel parameter is unavailable, the default ephemeral port range from 49153 through 65535 is used. Do not attempt to specify a host port in the ephemeral port range as these are reserved for automatic assignment. In general, ports below 32768 are outside of the ephemeral port range.
Note
The default ephemeral port range from 49153 through 65535 is always used for Docker versions before 1.6.0.
The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS container agent ports 51678-51680. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running (after a task stops, the host port is released). The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources of DescribeContainerInstances output. A container instance can have up to 100 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports. Automatically assigned ports don't count toward the 100 reserved ports limit.
protocol (string) --
The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are tcp and udp . The default is tcp .
essential (boolean) --
If the essential parameter of a container is marked as true , and that container fails or stops for any reason, all other containers that are part of the task are stopped. If the essential parameter of a container is marked as false , then its failure does not affect the rest of the containers in a task. If this parameter is omitted, a container is assumed to be essential.
All tasks must have at least one essential container. If you have an application that is composed of multiple containers, you should group containers that are used for a common purpose into components, and separate the different components into multiple task definitions. For more information, see Application Architecture in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
entryPoint (list) --
Warning
Early versions of the Amazon ECS container agent do not properly handle entryPoint parameters. If you have problems using entryPoint , update your container agent or enter your commands and arguments as command array items instead.
The entry point that is passed to the container. This parameter maps to Entrypoint in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --entrypoint option to docker run. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#entrypoint.
(string) --
command (list) --
The command that is passed to the container. This parameter maps to Cmd in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the COMMAND parameter to docker run. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#cmd. If there are multiple arguments, each argument should be a separated string in the array.
(string) --
environment (list) --
The environment variables to pass to a container. This parameter maps to Env in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --env option to docker run.
Warning
We do not recommend using plaintext environment variables for sensitive information, such as credential data.
(dict) --
A key-value pair object.
name (string) --
The name of the key-value pair. For environment variables, this is the name of the environment variable.
value (string) --

mountPoints (list) --
The mount points for data volumes in your container.
This parameter maps to Volumes in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --volume option to docker run.
Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData . Windows containers cannot mount directories on a different drive, and mount point cannot be across drives.
(dict) --
Details on a volume mount point that is used in a container definition.
sourceVolume (string) --
The name of the volume to mount. Must be a volume name referenced in the name parameter of task definition volume .
containerPath (string) --
The path on the container to mount the host volume at.

Data volumes to mount from another container. This parameter maps to VolumesFrom in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --volumes-from option to docker run.
(dict) --
Details on a data volume from another container in the same task definition.
sourceContainer (string) --
The name of another container within the same task definition from which to mount volumes.
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 .

(string) --
devices (list) --
Any host devices to expose to the container. This parameter maps to Devices in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --device option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the devices parameter is not supported.

An object representing a container instance host device.
hostPath (string) --
The path for the device on the host container instance.
containerPath (string) --
The path inside the container at which to expose the host device.
permissions (list) --
The explicit permissions to provide to the container for the device. By default, the container has permissions for read , write , and mknod for the device.
(string) --
initProcessEnabled (boolean) --
Run an init process inside the container that forwards signals and reaps processes. This parameter maps to the --init option to docker run. This parameter requires version 1.25 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance.

sharedMemorySize (integer) --
The value for the size (in MiB) of the /dev/shm volume. This parameter maps to the --shm-size option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the sharedMemorySize parameter is not supported.
tmpfs (list) --
The container path, mount options, and size (in MiB) of the tmpfs mount. This parameter maps to the --tmpfs option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the tmpfs parameter is not supported.
(dict) --
The container path, mount options, and size of the tmpfs mount.
containerPath (string) --
The absolute file path where the tmpfs volume is to be mounted.

The list of tmpfs volume mount options.
Valid values: "defaults" | "ro" | "rw" | "suid" | "nosuid" | "dev" | "nodev" | "exec" | "noexec" | "sync" | "async" | "dirsync" | "remount" | "mand" | "nomand" | "atime" | "noatime" | "diratime" | "nodiratime" | "bind" | "rbind" | "unbindable" | "runbindable" | "private" | "rprivate" | "shared" | "rshared" | "slave" | "rslave" | "relatime" | "norelatime" | "strictatime" | "nostrictatime" | "mode" | "uid" | "gid" | "nr_inodes" | "nr_blocks" | "mpol"
(string) --
maxSwap (integer) --
The total amount of swap memory (in MiB) a container can use. This parameter will be translated to the --memory-swap option to docker run where the value would be the sum of the container memory plus the maxSwap value.
If a maxSwap value of 0 is specified, the container will not use swap. Accepted values are 0 or any positive integer. If the maxSwap parameter is omitted, the container will use the swap configuration for the container instance it is running on. A maxSwap value must be set for the swappiness parameter to be used.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the maxSwap parameter is not supported.
swappiness (integer) --
This allows you to tune a container's memory swappiness behavior. A swappiness value of 0 will cause swapping to not happen unless absolutely necessary. A swappiness value of 100 will cause pages to be swapped very aggressively. Accepted values are whole numbers between 0 and 100 . If the swappiness parameter is not specified, a default value of 60 is used. If a value is not specified for maxSwap then this parameter is ignored. This parameter maps to the --memory-swappiness option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the swappiness parameter is not supported.
secrets (list) --
The secrets to pass to the container. For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
(dict) --
An object representing the secret to expose to your container. Secrets can be exposed to a container in the following ways:
To inject sensitive data into your containers as environment variables, use the secrets container definition parameter.
To reference sensitive information in the log configuration of a container, use the secretOptions container definition parameter.
For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
name (string) --
The name of the secret.
valueFrom (string) --
The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the AWS Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Note
If the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you are launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
dependsOn (list) --
The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
(dict) --
The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed.
Your Amazon ECS container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, container dependency parameters are not supported.
containerName (string) --
The name of a container.
condition (string) --
The dependency condition of the container. The following are the available conditions and their behavior:
START - This condition emulates the behavior of links and volumes today. It validates that a dependent container is started before permitting other containers to start.
COMPLETE - This condition validates that a dependent container runs to completion (exits) before permitting other containers to start. This can be useful for nonessential containers that run a script and then exit.
SUCCESS - This condition is the same as COMPLETE , but it also requires that the container exits with a zero status.
HEALTHY - This condition validates that the dependent container passes its Docker health check before permitting other containers to start. This requires that the dependent container has health checks configured. This condition is confirmed only at task startup.
startTimeout (integer) --
Time duration (in seconds) to wait before giving up on resolving dependencies for a container. For example, you specify two containers in a task definition with containerA having a dependency on containerB reaching a COMPLETE , SUCCESS , or HEALTHY status. If a startTimeout value is specified for containerB and it does not reach the desired status within that time then containerA will give up and not start. This results in the task transitioning to a STOPPED state.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable a container start timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
stopTimeout (integer) --
Time duration (in seconds) to wait before the container is forcefully killed if it doesn't exit normally on its own.
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the max stopTimeout value is 2 minutes and the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the stop timeout value for the container takes precedence over the ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT container agent configuration parameter, if used. Container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable a container stop timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

This parameter maps to SecurityOpt in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --security-opt option to docker run.
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register with the ECS_SELINUX_CAPABLE=true or ECS_APPARMOR_CAPABLE=true environment variables before containers placed on that instance can use these security options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
(string) --

The type of the ulimit .
softLimit (integer) --
The soft limit for the ulimit type.
hardLimit (integer) --
The hard limit for the ulimit type.
logConfiguration (dict) --
The log configuration specification for the container.
This parameter maps to LogConfig in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --log-driver option to docker run. By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container may use a different logging driver than the Docker daemon by specifying a log driver with this parameter in the container definition. To use a different logging driver for a container, the log system must be configured properly on the container instance (or on a different log server for remote logging options). For more information on the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation.
Note
Amazon ECS currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type). Additional log drivers may be available in future releases of the Amazon ECS container agent.
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register the logging drivers available on that instance with the ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS environment variable before containers placed on that instance can use these log configuration options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
logDriver (string) --
The log driver to use for the container. The valid values listed for this parameter are log drivers that the Amazon ECS container agent can communicate with by default.
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the supported log drivers are awslogs and splunk .
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the supported log drivers are awslogs , fluentd , gelf , json-file , journald , logentries , syslog , and splunk .
For more information about using the awslogs log driver, see Using the awslogs Log Driver in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
If you have a custom driver that is not listed above that you would like to work with the Amazon ECS container agent, you can fork the Amazon ECS container agent project that is available on GitHub and customize it to work with that driver. We encourage you to submit pull requests for changes that you would like to have included. However, Amazon Web Services does not currently support running modified copies of this software.
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'
options (dict) --

(string) --
(string) --
secretOptions (list) --
The secrets to pass to the log configuration. For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
(dict) --
An object representing the secret to expose to your container. Secrets can be exposed to a container in the following ways:
To inject sensitive data into your containers as environment variables, use the secrets container definition parameter.
To reference sensitive information in the log configuration of a container, use the secretOptions container definition parameter.
For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
name (string) --
The name of the secret.
valueFrom (string) --
The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the AWS Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Note
If the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you are launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
healthCheck (dict) --
The health check command and associated configuration parameters for the container. This parameter maps to HealthCheck in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the HEALTHCHECK parameter of docker run.
command (list) --
A string array representing the command that the container runs to determine if it is healthy. The string array must start with CMD to execute the command arguments directly, or CMD-SHELL to run the command with the container's default shell. For example:
[ "CMD-SHELL", "curl -f http://localhost/ || exit 1" ]
An exit code of 0 indicates success, and non-zero exit code indicates failure. For more information, see HealthCheck in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API.
(string) --
interval (integer) --
The time period in seconds between each health check execution. You may specify between 5 and 300 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.

retries (integer) --
The number of times to retry a failed health check before the container is considered unhealthy. You may specify between 1 and 10 retries. The default value is 3.
startPeriod (integer) --
The optional grace period within which to provide containers time to bootstrap before failed health checks count towards the maximum number of retries. You may specify between 0 and 300 seconds. The startPeriod is disabled by default.
Note
If a health check succeeds within the startPeriod , then the container is considered healthy and any subsequent failures count toward the maximum number of retries.
systemControls (list) --
A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --sysctl option to docker run.
Note
It is not recommended that you specify network-related systemControls parameters for multiple containers in a single task that also uses either the awsvpc or host network modes. For tasks that use the awsvpc network mode, the container that is started last determines which systemControls parameters take effect. For tasks that use the host network mode, it changes the container instance's namespaced kernel parameters as well as the containers.
(dict) --
A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --sysctl option to docker run.
It is not recommended that you specify network-related systemControls parameters for multiple containers in a single task that also uses either the awsvpc or host network mode for the following reasons:
For tasks that use the awsvpc network mode, if you set systemControls for any container, it applies to all containers in the task. If you set different systemControls for multiple containers in a single task, the container that is started last determines which systemControls take effect.
For tasks that use the host network mode, the systemControls parameter applies to the container instance's kernel parameter as well as that of all containers of any tasks running on that container instance.
namespace (string) --
The namespaced kernel parameter for which to set a value .
value (string) --
The value for the namespaced kernel parameter specified in namespace .
resourceRequirements (list) --
The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The only supported resource is a GPU.
(dict) --
The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The supported resource types are GPUs and Elastic Inference accelerators. For more information, see Working with GPUs on Amazon ECS or Working with Amazon Elastic Inference on Amazon ECS in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide
value (string) --
The value for the specified resource type.
If the GPU type is used, the value is the number of physical GPUs the Amazon ECS container agent will reserve for the container. The number of GPUs reserved for all containers in a task should not exceed the number of available GPUs on the container instance the task is launched on.
If the InferenceAccelerator type is used, the value should match the deviceName for an InferenceAccelerator specified in a task definition.
type (string) --
The type of resource to assign to a container. The supported values are GPU or InferenceAccelerator .
firelensConfiguration (dict) --
The FireLens configuration for the container. This is used to specify and configure a log router for container logs. For more information, see Custom Log Routing in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
type (string) --
The log router to use. The valid values are fluentd or fluentbit .
options (dict) --
The options to use when configuring the log router. This field is optional and can be used to add additional metadata, such as the task, task definition, cluster, and container instance details to the log event. If specified, the syntax to use is "options":{"enable-ecs-log-metadata":"true|false"} .
(string) --
(string) --
family (string) --
The name of a family that this task definition is registered to. A family groups multiple versions of a task definition. Amazon ECS gives the first task definition that you registered to a family a revision number of 1. Amazon ECS gives sequential revision numbers to each task definition that you add.
taskRoleArn (string) --
The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that grants containers in the task permission to call AWS APIs on your behalf. For more information, see Amazon ECS Task Role in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
IAM roles for tasks on Windows require that the -EnableTaskIAMRole option is set when you launch the Amazon ECS-optimized Windows AMI. Your containers must also run some configuration code in order to take advantage of the feature. For more information, see Windows IAM Roles for Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
executionRoleArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution role that containers in this task can assume. All containers in this task are granted the permissions that are specified in this role.
networkMode (string) --
The Docker networking mode to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are none , bridge , awsvpc , and host . The default Docker network mode is bridge . If you are using the Fargate launch type, the awsvpc network mode is required. If you are using the EC2 launch type, any network mode can be used. If the network mode is set to none , you cannot specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the tasks containers do not have external connectivity. The host and awsvpc network modes offer the highest networking performance for containers because they use the EC2 network stack instead of the virtualized network stack provided by the bridge mode.
With the host and awsvpc network modes, exposed container ports are mapped directly to the corresponding host port (for the host network mode) or the attached elastic network interface port (for the awsvpc network mode), so you cannot take advantage of dynamic host port mappings.
If the network mode is awsvpc , the task is allocated an elastic network interface, and you must specify a NetworkConfiguration value when you create a service or run a task with the task definition. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
Currently, only Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs, other Amazon Linux variants with the ecs-init package, or AWS Fargate infrastructure support the awsvpc network mode.
If the network mode is host , you cannot run multiple instantiations of the same task on a single container instance when port mappings are used.
Docker for Windows uses different network modes than Docker for Linux. When you register a task definition with Windows containers, you must not specify a network mode. If you use the console to register a task definition with Windows containers, you must choose the <default> network mode object.
For more information, see Network settings in the Docker run reference .
revision (integer) --
The revision of the task in a particular family. The revision is a version number of a task definition in a family. When you register a task definition for the first time, the revision is 1 . Each time that you register a new revision of a task definition in the same family, the revision value always increases by one, even if you have deregistered previous revisions in this family.
volumes (list) --
The list of volume definitions for the task.
If your tasks are using the Fargate launch type, the host and sourcePath parameters are not supported.
For more information about volume definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
(dict) --
A data volume used in a task definition. For tasks that use a Docker volume, specify a DockerVolumeConfiguration . For tasks that use a bind mount host volume, specify a host and optional sourcePath . For more information, see Using Data Volumes in Tasks.
name (string) --
The name of the volume. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .
host (dict) --
This parameter is specified when you are using bind mount host volumes. Bind mount host volumes are supported when you are using either the EC2 or Fargate launch types. The contents of the host parameter determine whether your bind mount host volume persists on the host container instance and where it is stored. If the host parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon assigns a host path for your data volume. However, the data is not guaranteed to persist after the containers associated with it stop running.
Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData . Windows containers cannot mount directories on a different drive, and mount point cannot be across drives. For example, you can mount C:\my\path:C:\my\path and D:\:D:\ , but not D:\my\path:C:\my\path or D:\:C:\my\path .
sourcePath (string) --
When the host parameter is used, specify a sourcePath to declare 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. If the host parameter contains a sourcePath file location, then the data volume persists at the specified location on the host container instance until you delete it manually. If the sourcePath value does not exist on the host container instance, the Docker daemon creates it. If the location does exist, the contents of the source path folder are exported.
If you are using the Fargate launch type, the sourcePath parameter is not supported.
dockerVolumeConfiguration (dict) --
This parameter is specified when you are using Docker volumes. Docker volumes are only supported when you are using the EC2 launch type. Windows containers only support the use of the local driver. To use bind mounts, specify a host instead.
scope (string) --
The scope for the Docker volume that determines its lifecycle. Docker volumes that are scoped to a task are automatically provisioned when the task starts and destroyed when the task stops. Docker volumes that are scoped as shared persist after the task stops.
autoprovision (boolean) --
If this value is true , the Docker volume is created if it does not already exist.
Note
This field is only used if the scope is shared .
driver (string) --
The Docker volume driver to use. The driver value must match the driver name provided by Docker because it is used for task placement. If the driver was installed using the Docker plugin CLI, use docker plugin ls to retrieve the driver name from your container instance. If the driver was installed using another method, use Docker plugin discovery to retrieve the driver name. For more information, see Docker plugin discovery. This parameter maps to Driver in the Create a volume section of the Docker Remote API and the xxdriver option to docker volume create.
driverOpts (dict) --
A map of Docker driver-specific options passed through. This parameter maps to DriverOpts in the Create a volume section of the Docker Remote API and the xxopt option to docker volume create.

(dict) --
An attribute is a name-value pair associated with an Amazon ECS object. Attributes enable you to extend the Amazon ECS data model by adding custom metadata to your resources. For more information, see Attributes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
name (string) --
The name of the attribute. Up to 128 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, and periods are allowed.
value (string) --
The value of the attribute. Up to 128 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, periods, at signs (@), forward slashes, colons, and spaces are allowed.
targetType (string) --
The type of the target with which to attach the attribute. This parameter is required if you use the short form ID for a resource instead of the full ARN.
targetId (string) --
The ID of the target. You can specify the short form ID for a resource or the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
placementConstraints (list) --
An array of placement constraint objects to use for tasks. This field is not valid if you are using the Fargate launch type for your task.
(dict) --

The Elastic Inference accelerator device name. The deviceName must also be referenced in a container definition as a ResourceRequirement.
deviceType (string) --
The Elastic Inference accelerator type to use.
pidMode (string) --
The process namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are host or task . If host is specified, then all containers within the tasks that specified the host PID mode on the same container instance share the same process namespace with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same process namespace. If no value is specified, the default is a private namespace. For more information, see PID settings in the Docker run reference .
If the host PID mode is used, be aware that there is a heightened risk of undesired process namespace expose. For more information, see Docker security.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks using the Fargate launch type.
ipcMode (string) --
The IPC resource namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are host , task , or none . If host is specified, then all containers within the tasks that specified the host IPC mode on the same container instance share the same IPC resources with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same IPC resources. If none is specified, then IPC resources within the containers of a task are private and not shared with other containers in a task or on the container instance. If no value is specified, then the IPC resource namespace sharing depends on the Docker daemon setting on the container instance. For more information, see IPC settings in the Docker run reference .
If the host IPC mode is used, be aware that there is a heightened risk of undesired IPC namespace expose. For more information, see Docker security.
If you are setting namespaced kernel parameters using systemControls for the containers in the task, the following will apply to your IPC resource namespace. For more information, see System Controls in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks that use the host IPC mode, IPC namespace related systemControls are not supported.
For tasks that use the task IPC mode, IPC namespace related systemControls will apply to all containers within a task.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks using the Fargate launch type.

Details on a service within a cluster
serviceArn (string) --
The ARN that identifies the service. The ARN contains the arn:aws:ecs namespace, followed by the Region of the service, the AWS account ID of the service owner, the service namespace, and then the service name. For example, arn:aws:ecs:region:012345678910:service/my-service .
serviceName (string) --
The name of your service. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. Service names must be unique within a cluster, but you can have similarly named services in multiple clusters within a Region or across multiple Regions.
clusterArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that hosts the service.
loadBalancers (list) --
A list of Elastic Load Balancing load balancer objects, containing the load balancer name, the container name (as it appears in a container definition), and the container port to access from the load balancer.
(dict) --
Details on the load balancer or load balancers to use with a service or task set.
targetGroupArn (string) --
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Elastic Load Balancing target group or groups associated with a service or task set.
A target group ARN is only specified when using an Application Load Balancer or Network Load Balancer. If you are using a Classic Load Balancer this should be omitted.
For services using the ECS deployment controller, you can specify one or multiple target groups. For more information, see Registering Multiple Target Groups with a Service in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For services using the CODE_DEPLOY deployment controller, you are required to define two target groups for the load balancer. For more information, see Blue/Green Deployment with CodeDeploy in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Warning
If your service's task definition uses the awsvpc network mode (which is required for the Fargate launch type), you must choose ip as the target type, not instance , when creating your target groups because tasks that use the awsvpc network mode are associated with an elastic network interface, not an Amazon EC2 instance.
loadBalancerName (string) --
The name of the load balancer to associate with the Amazon ECS service or task set.
A load balancer name is only specified when using a Classic Load Balancer. If you are using an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer this should be omitted.

The name of the container (as it appears in a container definition) to associate with the load balancer.
containerPort (integer) --
The port on the container to associate with the load balancer. This port must correspond to a containerPort in the task definition the tasks in the service are using. For tasks that use the EC2 launch type, the container instance they are launched on must allow ingress traffic on the hostPort of the port mapping.
serviceRegistries (list) --
The details of the service discovery registries to assign to this service. For more information, see Service Discovery.
(dict) --
Details of the service registry.
registryArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the service registry. The currently supported service registry is AWS Cloud Map. For more information, see CreateService.
port (integer) --
The port value used if your service discovery service specified an SRV record. This field may be used if both the awsvpc network mode and SRV records are used.
containerName (string) --
The container name value, already specified in the task definition, to be used for your service discovery service. If the task definition that your service task specifies uses the bridge or host network mode, you must specify a containerName and containerPort combination from the task definition. If the task definition that your service task specifies uses the awsvpc network mode and a type SRV DNS record is used, you must specify either a containerName and containerPort combination or a port value, but not both.
containerPort (integer) --
The port value, already specified in the task definition, to be used for your service discovery service. If the task definition your service task specifies uses the bridge or host network mode, you must specify a containerName and containerPort combination from the task definition. If the task definition your service task specifies uses the awsvpc network mode and a type SRV DNS record is used, you must specify either a containerName and containerPort combination or a port value, but not both.
status (string) --
The status of the service. The valid values are ACTIVE , DRAINING , or INACTIVE .
desiredCount (integer) --
The desired number of instantiations of the task definition to keep running on the service. This value is specified when the service is created with CreateService, and it can be modified with UpdateService.
runningCount (integer) --
The number of tasks in the cluster that are in the RUNNING state.
pendingCount (integer) --
The number of tasks in the cluster that are in the PENDING state.
launchType (string) --
The launch type on which your service is running. If no value is specified, it will default to EC2 . Valid values include EC2 and FARGATE . For more information, see Amazon ECS Launch Types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
platformVersion (string) --
The platform version on which to run your service. A platform version is only specified for tasks using the Fargate launch type. If one is not specified, the LATEST platform version is used by default. For more information, see AWS Fargate Platform Versions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
taskDefinition (string) --
The task definition to use for tasks in the service. This value is specified when the service is created with CreateService, and it can be modified with UpdateService.
deploymentConfiguration (dict) --
Optional deployment parameters that control how many tasks run during the deployment and the ordering of stopping and starting tasks.
maximumPercent (integer) --
If a service is using the rolling update ( ECS ) deployment type, the maximum percent parameter represents an upper limit on the number of tasks in a service that are allowed in the RUNNING or PENDING state during a deployment, as a percentage of the desired number of tasks (rounded down to the nearest integer), and while any container instances are in the DRAINING state if the service contains tasks using the EC2 launch type. This parameter enables you to define the deployment batch size. For example, if your service has a desired number of four tasks and a maximum percent value of 200%, the scheduler may start four new tasks before stopping the four older tasks (provided that the cluster resources required to do this are available). The default value for maximum percent is 200%.
If a service is using the blue/green ( CODE_DEPLOY ) or EXTERNAL deployment types and tasks that use the EC2 launch type, the maximum percent value is set to the default value and is used to define the upper limit on the number of the tasks in the service that remain in the RUNNING state while the container instances are in the DRAINING state. If the tasks in the service use the Fargate launch type, the maximum percent value is not used, although it is returned when describing your service.
minimumHealthyPercent (integer) --
If a service is using the rolling update ( ECS ) deployment type, the minimum healthy percent represents a lower limit on the number of tasks in a service that must remain in the RUNNING state during a deployment, as a percentage of the desired number of tasks (rounded up to the nearest integer), and while any container instances are in the DRAINING state if the service contains tasks using the EC2 launch type. This parameter enables you to deploy without using additional cluster capacity. For example, if your service has a desired number of four tasks and a minimum healthy percent of 50%, the scheduler may stop two existing tasks to free up cluster capacity before starting two new tasks. Tasks for services that do not use a load balancer are considered healthy if they are in the RUNNING state; tasks for services that do use a load balancer are considered healthy if they are in the RUNNING state and they are reported as healthy by the load balancer. The default value for minimum healthy percent is 100%.
If a service is using the blue/green ( CODE_DEPLOY ) or EXTERNAL deployment types and tasks that use the EC2 launch type, the minimum healthy percent value is set to the default value and is used to define the lower limit on the number of the tasks in the service that remain in the RUNNING state while the container instances are in the DRAINING state. If the tasks in the service use the Fargate launch type, the minimum healthy percent value is not used, although it is returned when describing your service.

The deployment controller type the service is using. When using the DescribeServices API, this field is omitted if the service is using the ECS deployment controller type.
type (string) --
The deployment controller type to use.
There are three deployment controller types available:
ECS
The rolling update ( ECS ) deployment type involves replacing the current running version of the container with the latest version. The number of containers Amazon ECS adds or removes from the service during a rolling update is controlled by adjusting the minimum and maximum number of healthy tasks allowed during a service deployment, as specified in the DeploymentConfiguration.
CODE_DEPLOY
The blue/green ( CODE_DEPLOY ) deployment type uses the blue/green deployment model powered by AWS CodeDeploy, which allows you to verify a new deployment of a service before sending production traffic to it.
EXTERNAL
The external ( EXTERNAL ) deployment type enables you to use any third-party deployment controller for full control over the deployment process for an Amazon ECS service.
tags (list) --
The metadata that you apply to the service to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.
The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8
Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8
If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.
Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.

Response Structure
(dict) --
taskDefinition (dict) --
The full task definition description.
taskDefinitionArn (string) --
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) 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 about container definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon Elastic 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. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. This parameter maps to name in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --name option to docker run.
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 either repository-url/image:tag or repository-url/image@digest . Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, periods, forward slashes, and number signs are allowed. This parameter maps to Image in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the IMAGE parameter of docker run.
When a new task starts, the Amazon ECS container agent pulls the latest version of the specified image and tag for the container to use. However, subsequent updates to a repository image are not propagated to already running tasks.
Images in Amazon ECR repositories can be specified by either using the full registry/repository:tag or registry/repository@digest . For example, 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:latest or 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>@sha256:94afd1f2e64d908bc90dbca0035a5b567EXAMPLE .
Images in official repositories on Docker Hub use a single name (for example, ubuntu or mongo ).
Images in other repositories on Docker Hub are qualified with an organization name (for example, amazon/amazon-ecs-agent ).
Images in other online repositories are qualified further by a domain name (for example, quay.io/assemblyline/ubuntu ).
repositoryCredentials (dict) --
The private repository authentication credentials to use.
credentialsParameter (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret containing the private repository credentials.
Note
When you are using the Amazon ECS API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK, if the secret exists in the same Region as the task that you are launching then you can use either the full ARN or the name of the secret. When you are using the AWS Management Console, you must specify the full ARN of the secret.
cpu (integer) --
The number of cpu units reserved for the container. This parameter maps to CpuShares in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --cpu-shares option to docker run.
This field is optional for tasks using the Fargate launch type, and the only requirement is that the total amount of CPU reserved for all containers within a task be lower than the task-level cpu value.
Note
You can determine the number of CPU units that are available per EC2 instance type by multiplying the vCPUs listed for that instance type on the Amazon EC2 Instances detail page by 1,024.
For example, if you run a single-container task on a single-core instance type with 512 CPU units specified for that container, and that is the only task running on the container instance, that container could use the full 1,024 CPU unit share at any given time. However, if you launched another copy of the same task on that container instance, each task would be guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed, and each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it, but if both tasks were 100% active all of the time, they would be limited to 512 CPU units.
Linux containers share unallocated CPU units with other containers on the container instance with the same ratio as their allocated amount. For example, if you run a single-container task on a single-core instance type with 512 CPU units specified for that container, and that is the only task running on the container instance, that container could use the full 1,024 CPU unit share at any given time. However, if you launched another copy of the same task on that container instance, each task would be guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed, and each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it, but if both tasks were 100% active all of the time, they would be limited to 512 CPU units.
On Linux container instances, the Docker daemon on the container instance uses the CPU value to calculate the relative CPU share ratios for running containers. For more information, see CPU share constraint in the Docker documentation. The minimum valid CPU share value that the Linux kernel allows is 2. However, the CPU parameter is not required, and you can use CPU values below 2 in your container definitions. For CPU values below 2 (including null), the behavior varies based on your Amazon ECS container agent version:
Agent versions less than or equal to 1.1.0: Null and zero CPU values are passed to Docker as 0, which Docker then converts to 1,024 CPU shares. CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 1, which the Linux kernel converts to two CPU shares.
Agent versions greater than or equal to 1.2.0: Null, zero, and CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 2.
On Windows container instances, the CPU limit is enforced as an absolute limit, or a quota. Windows containers only have access to the specified amount of CPU that is described in the task definition.
memory (integer) --
The amount (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. The total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task must be lower than the task memory value, if one is specified. This parameter maps to Memory in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory option to docker run.
If using the Fargate launch type, this parameter is optional.
If using the EC2 launch type, you must specify either a task-level memory value or a container-level memory value. If you specify both a container-level memory and memoryReservation value, memory must be greater than memoryReservation . If you specify memoryReservation , then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance on which the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory is used.
The Docker daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container, so you should not specify fewer than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
memoryReservation (integer) --
The soft limit (in MiB) of memory to reserve for the container. When system memory is under heavy contention, Docker attempts to keep the container memory to this soft limit. However, your container can consume more memory when it needs to, up to either the hard limit specified with the memory parameter (if applicable), or all of the available memory on the container instance, whichever comes first. This parameter maps to MemoryReservation in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory-reservation option to docker run.
If a task-level memory value is not specified, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in a container definition. If you specify both, memory must be greater than memoryReservation . If you specify memoryReservation , then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance on which the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory is used.
For example, if your container normally uses 128 MiB of memory, but occasionally bursts to 256 MiB of memory for short periods of time, you can set a memoryReservation of 128 MiB, and a memory hard limit of 300 MiB. This configuration would allow the container to only reserve 128 MiB of memory from the remaining resources on the container instance, but also allow the container to consume more memory resources when needed.
The Docker daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container, so you should not specify fewer than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
links (list) --
The links parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings. This parameter is only supported if the network mode of a task definition is bridge . The name:internalName construct is analogous to name:alias in Docker links. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. For more information about linking Docker containers, go to Legacy container links in the Docker documentation. This parameter maps to Links in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --link option to docker run.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
Warning
Containers that are collocated on a single container instance may be able to communicate with each other without requiring links or host port mappings. Network isolation is achieved on the container instance using security groups and VPC settings.
(string) --
portMappings (list) --
The list of port mappings for the container. Port mappings allow containers to access ports on the host container instance to send or receive traffic.
For task definitions that use the awsvpc network mode, you should only specify the containerPort . The hostPort can be left blank or it must be the same value as the containerPort .
Port mappings on Windows use the NetNAT gateway address rather than localhost . There is no loopback for port mappings on Windows, so you cannot access a container's mapped port from the host itself.
This parameter maps to PortBindings in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --publish option to docker run. If the network mode of a task definition is set to none , then you can't specify port mappings. If the network mode of a task definition is set to host , then host ports must either be undefined or they must match the container port in the port mapping.
Note
After a task reaches the RUNNING status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the Network Bindings section of a container description for a selected task in the Amazon ECS console. The assignments are also visible in the networkBindings section DescribeTasks responses.
(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.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort . The hostPort can be left blank or it must be the same value as the containerPort .
After a task reaches the RUNNING status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the networkBindings section of DescribeTasks API responses.
containerPort (integer) --
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort .
If you are using containers in a task with the bridge network mode and you specify a container port and not a host port, your container automatically receives a host port in the ephemeral port range. For more information, see hostPort . Port mappings that are automatically assigned in this way do not count toward the 100 reserved ports limit of a container instance.
Warning
You cannot expose the same container port for multiple protocols. An error will be returned if this is attempted.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, the hostPort can either be left blank or set to the same value as the containerPort .
If you are using containers in a task with the bridge network mode, you can specify a non-reserved host port for your container port mapping, or you can omit the hostPort (or set it to 0 ) while specifying a containerPort and your container automatically receives a port in the ephemeral port range for your container instance operating system and Docker version.
The default ephemeral port range for Docker version 1.6.0 and later is listed on the instance under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range . If this kernel parameter is unavailable, the default ephemeral port range from 49153 through 65535 is used. Do not attempt to specify a host port in the ephemeral port range as these are reserved for automatic assignment. In general, ports below 32768 are outside of the ephemeral port range.
Note
The default ephemeral port range from 49153 through 65535 is always used for Docker versions before 1.6.0.
The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS container agent ports 51678-51680. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running (after a task stops, the host port is released). The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources of DescribeContainerInstances output. A container instance can have up to 100 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports. Automatically assigned ports don't count toward the 100 reserved ports limit.
protocol (string) --
The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are tcp and udp . The default is tcp .
essential (boolean) --
If the essential parameter of a container is marked as true , and that container fails or stops for any reason, all other containers that are part of the task are stopped. If the essential parameter of a container is marked as false , then its failure does not affect the rest of the containers in a task. If this parameter is omitted, a container is assumed to be essential.
All tasks must have at least one essential container. If you have an application that is composed of multiple containers, you should group containers that are used for a common purpose into components, and separate the different components into multiple task definitions. For more information, see Application Architecture in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
entryPoint (list) --

maxSwap (integer) --
The total amount of swap memory (in MiB) a container can use. This parameter will be translated to the --memory-swap option to docker run where the value would be the sum of the container memory plus the maxSwap value.
If a maxSwap value of 0 is specified, the container will not use swap. Accepted values are 0 or any positive integer. If the maxSwap parameter is omitted, the container will use the swap configuration for the container instance it is running on. A maxSwap value must be set for the swappiness parameter to be used.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the maxSwap parameter is not supported.
swappiness (integer) --
This allows you to tune a container's memory swappiness behavior. A swappiness value of 0 will cause swapping to not happen unless absolutely necessary. A swappiness value of 100 will cause pages to be swapped very aggressively. Accepted values are whole numbers between 0 and 100 . If the swappiness parameter is not specified, a default value of 60 is used. If a value is not specified for maxSwap then this parameter is ignored. This parameter maps to the --memory-swappiness option to docker run.

The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the AWS Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Note
If the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you are launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
dependsOn (list) --
The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
(dict) --
The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed.
Your Amazon ECS container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, container dependency parameters are not supported.
containerName (string) --
The name of a container.
condition (string) --
The dependency condition of the container. The following are the available conditions and their behavior:
START - This condition emulates the behavior of links and volumes today. It validates that a dependent container is started before permitting other containers to start.
COMPLETE - This condition validates that a dependent container runs to completion (exits) before permitting other containers to start. This can be useful for nonessential containers that run a script and then exit.
SUCCESS - This condition is the same as COMPLETE , but it also requires that the container exits with a zero status.
HEALTHY - This condition validates that the dependent container passes its Docker health check before permitting other containers to start. This requires that the dependent container has health checks configured. This condition is confirmed only at task startup.
startTimeout (integer) --
Time duration (in seconds) to wait before giving up on resolving dependencies for a container. For example, you specify two containers in a task definition with containerA having a dependency on containerB reaching a COMPLETE , SUCCESS , or HEALTHY status. If a startTimeout value is specified for containerB and it does not reach the desired status within that time then containerA will give up and not start. This results in the task transitioning to a STOPPED state.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable a container start timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
stopTimeout (integer) --
Time duration (in seconds) to wait before the container is forcefully killed if it doesn't exit normally on its own.
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the max stopTimeout value is 2 minutes and the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the stop timeout value for the container takes precedence over the ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT container agent configuration parameter, if used. Container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable a container stop timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

This parameter maps to SecurityOpt in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --security-opt option to docker run.
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register with the ECS_SELINUX_CAPABLE=true or ECS_APPARMOR_CAPABLE=true environment variables before containers placed on that instance can use these security options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.

softLimit (integer) --
The soft limit for the ulimit type.
hardLimit (integer) --
The hard limit for the ulimit type.
logConfiguration (dict) --
The log configuration specification for the container.
This parameter maps to LogConfig in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --log-driver option to docker run. By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container may use a different logging driver than the Docker daemon by specifying a log driver with this parameter in the container definition. To use a different logging driver for a container, the log system must be configured properly on the container instance (or on a different log server for remote logging options). For more information on the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation.
Note
Amazon ECS currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type). Additional log drivers may be available in future releases of the Amazon ECS container agent.
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register the logging drivers available on that instance with the ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS environment variable before containers placed on that instance can use these log configuration options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
logDriver (string) --
The log driver to use for the container. The valid values listed for this parameter are log drivers that the Amazon ECS container agent can communicate with by default.
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the supported log drivers are awslogs and splunk .
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the supported log drivers are awslogs , fluentd , gelf , json-file , journald , logentries , syslog , and splunk .
For more information about using the awslogs log driver, see Using the awslogs Log Driver in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
If you have a custom driver that is not listed above that you would like to work with the Amazon ECS container agent, you can fork the Amazon ECS container agent project that is available on GitHub and customize it to work with that driver. We encourage you to submit pull requests for changes that you would like to have included. However, Amazon Web Services does not currently support running modified copies of this software.
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'
options (dict) --
The configuration options to send to the log driver. This parameter requires version 1.19 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'
(string) --
(string) --
secretOptions (list) --
The secrets to pass to the log configuration. For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
(dict) --
An object representing the secret to expose to your container. Secrets can be exposed to a container in the following ways:
To inject sensitive data into your containers as environment variables, use the secrets container definition parameter.
To reference sensitive information in the log configuration of a container, use the secretOptions container definition parameter.
For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
name (string) --
The name of the secret.
valueFrom (string) --
The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the AWS Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Note
If the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you are launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
healthCheck (dict) --
The health check command and associated configuration parameters for the container. This parameter maps to HealthCheck in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the HEALTHCHECK parameter of docker run.
command (list) --
A string array representing the command that the container runs to determine if it is healthy. The string array must start with CMD to execute the command arguments directly, or CMD-SHELL to run the command with the container's default shell. For example:
[ "CMD-SHELL", "curl -f http://localhost/ || exit 1" ]
An exit code of 0 indicates success, and non-zero exit code indicates failure. For more information, see HealthCheck in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API.
(string) --
interval (integer) --
The time period in seconds between each health check execution. You may specify between 5 and 300 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.
timeout (integer) --
The time period in seconds to wait for a health check to succeed before it is considered a failure. You may specify between 2 and 60 seconds. The default value is 5.
retries (integer) --
The number of times to retry a failed health check before the container is considered unhealthy. You may specify between 1 and 10 retries. The default value is 3.
startPeriod (integer) --
The optional grace period within which to provide containers time to bootstrap before failed health checks count towards the maximum number of retries. You may specify between 0 and 300 seconds. The startPeriod is disabled by default.
Note
If a health check succeeds within the startPeriod , then the container is considered healthy and any subsequent failures count toward the maximum number of retries.
systemControls (list) --
A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --sysctl option to docker run.
Note
It is not recommended that you specify network-related systemControls parameters for multiple containers in a single task that also uses either the awsvpc or host network modes. For tasks that use the awsvpc network mode, the container that is started last determines which systemControls parameters take effect. For tasks that use the host network mode, it changes the container instance's namespaced kernel parameters as well as the containers.
(dict) --
A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --sysctl option to docker run.
It is not recommended that you specify network-related systemControls parameters for multiple containers in a single task that also uses either the awsvpc or host network mode for the following reasons:
For tasks that use the awsvpc network mode, if you set systemControls for any container, it applies to all containers in the task. If you set different systemControls for multiple containers in a single task, the container that is started last determines which systemControls take effect.
For tasks that use the host network mode, the systemControls parameter applies to the container instance's kernel parameter as well as that of all containers of any tasks running on that container instance.
namespace (string) --
The namespaced kernel parameter for which to set a value .
value (string) --
The value for the namespaced kernel parameter specified in namespace .
resourceRequirements (list) --
The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The only supported resource is a GPU.
(dict) --
The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The supported resource types are GPUs and Elastic Inference accelerators. For more information, see Working with GPUs on Amazon ECS or Working with Amazon Elastic Inference on Amazon ECS in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide
value (string) --
The value for the specified resource type.
If the GPU type is used, the value is the number of physical GPUs the Amazon ECS container agent will reserve for the container. The number of GPUs reserved for all containers in a task should not exceed the number of available GPUs on the container instance the task is launched on.
If the InferenceAccelerator type is used, the value should match the deviceName for an InferenceAccelerator specified in a task definition.
type (string) --
The type of resource to assign to a container. The supported values are GPU or InferenceAccelerator .
firelensConfiguration (dict) --
The FireLens configuration for the container. This is used to specify and configure a log router for container logs. For more information, see Custom Log Routing in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
type (string) --
The log router to use. The valid values are fluentd or fluentbit .
options (dict) --
The options to use when configuring the log router. This field is optional and can be used to add additional metadata, such as the task, task definition, cluster, and container instance details to the log event. If specified, the syntax to use is "options":{"enable-ecs-log-metadata":"true|false"} .
(string) --
(string) --
family (string) --
The name of a family that this task definition is registered to. A family groups multiple versions of a task definition. Amazon ECS gives the first task definition that you registered to a family a revision number of 1. Amazon ECS gives sequential revision numbers to each task definition that you add.
taskRoleArn (string) --
The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that grants containers in the task permission to call AWS APIs on your behalf. For more information, see Amazon ECS Task Role in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
IAM roles for tasks on Windows require that the -EnableTaskIAMRole option is set when you launch the Amazon ECS-optimized Windows AMI. Your containers must also run some configuration code in order to take advantage of the feature. For more information, see Windows IAM Roles for Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
executionRoleArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution role that containers in this task can assume. All containers in this task are granted the permissions that are specified in this role.
networkMode (string) --
The Docker networking mode to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are none , bridge , awsvpc , and host . The default Docker network mode is bridge . If you are using the Fargate launch type, the awsvpc network mode is required. If you are using the EC2 launch type, any network mode can be used. If the network mode is set to none , you cannot specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the tasks containers do not have external connectivity. The host and awsvpc network modes offer the highest networking performance for containers because they use the EC2 network stack instead of the virtualized network stack provided by the bridge mode.
With the host and awsvpc network modes, exposed container ports are mapped directly to the corresponding host port (for the host network mode) or the attached elastic network interface port (for the awsvpc network mode), so you cannot take advantage of dynamic host port mappings.
If the network mode is awsvpc , the task is allocated an elastic network interface, and you must specify a NetworkConfiguration value when you create a service or run a task with the task definition. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
Currently, only Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs, other Amazon Linux variants with the ecs-init package, or AWS Fargate infrastructure support the awsvpc network mode.
If the network mode is host , you cannot run multiple instantiations of the same task on a single container instance when port mappings are used.
Docker for Windows uses different network modes than Docker for Linux. When you register a task definition with Windows containers, you must not specify a network mode. If you use the console to register a task definition with Windows containers, you must choose the <default> network mode object.
For more information, see Network settings in the Docker run reference .
revision (integer) --
The revision of the task in a particular family. The revision is a version number of a task definition in a family. When you register a task definition for the first time, the revision is 1 . Each time that you register a new revision of a task definition in the same family, the revision value always increases by one, even if you have deregistered previous revisions in this family.
volumes (list) --
The list of volume definitions for the task.
If your tasks are using the Fargate launch type, the host and sourcePath parameters are not supported.
For more information about volume definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
(dict) --
A data volume used in a task definition. For tasks that use a Docker volume, specify a DockerVolumeConfiguration . For tasks that use a bind mount host volume, specify a host and optional sourcePath . For more information, see Using Data Volumes in Tasks.
name (string) --
The name of the volume. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .
host (dict) --
This parameter is specified when you are using bind mount host volumes. Bind mount host volumes are supported when you are using either the EC2 or Fargate launch types. The contents of the host parameter determine whether your bind mount host volume persists on the host container instance and where it is stored. If the host parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon assigns a host path for your data volume. However, the data is not guaranteed to persist after the containers associated with it stop running.
Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData . Windows containers cannot mount directories on a different drive, and mount point cannot be across drives. For example, you can mount C:\my\path:C:\my\path and D:\:D:\ , but not D:\my\path:C:\my\path or D:\:C:\my\path .
sourcePath (string) --
When the host parameter is used, specify a sourcePath to declare 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. If the host parameter contains a sourcePath file location, then the data volume persists at the specified location on the host container instance until you delete it manually. If the sourcePath value does not exist on the host container instance, the Docker daemon creates it. If the location does exist, the contents of the source path folder are exported.
If you are using the Fargate launch type, the sourcePath parameter is not supported.
dockerVolumeConfiguration (dict) --
This parameter is specified when you are using Docker volumes. Docker volumes are only supported when you are using the EC2 launch type. Windows containers only support the use of the local driver. To use bind mounts, specify a host instead.
scope (string) --
The scope for the Docker volume that determines its lifecycle. Docker volumes that are scoped to a task are automatically provisioned when the task starts and destroyed when the task stops. Docker volumes that are scoped as shared persist after the task stops.
autoprovision (boolean) --
If this value is true , the Docker volume is created if it does not already exist.
Note
This field is only used if the scope is shared .
driver (string) --
The Docker volume driver to use. The driver value must match the driver name provided by Docker because it is used for task placement. If the driver was installed using the Docker plugin CLI, use docker plugin ls to retrieve the driver name from your container instance. If the driver was installed using another method, use Docker plugin discovery to retrieve the driver name. For more information, see Docker plugin discovery. This parameter maps to Driver in the Create a volume section of the Docker Remote API and the xxdriver option to docker volume create.
driverOpts (dict) --
A map of Docker driver-specific options passed through. This parameter maps to DriverOpts in the Create a volume section of the Docker Remote API and the xxopt option to docker volume create.
(string) --
(string) --

name (string) --
The name of the attribute. Up to 128 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, and periods are allowed.
value (string) --
The value of the attribute. Up to 128 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, periods, at signs (@), forward slashes, colons, and spaces are allowed.
targetType (string) --
The type of the target with which to attach the attribute. This parameter is required if you use the short form ID for a resource instead of the full ARN.
targetId (string) --
The ID of the target. You can specify the short form ID for a resource or the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
placementConstraints (list) --
An array of placement constraint objects to use for tasks. This field is not valid if you are using the Fargate launch type for your task.
(dict) --

The Elastic Inference accelerator device name. The deviceName must also be referenced in a container definition as a ResourceRequirement.
deviceType (string) --
The Elastic Inference accelerator type to use.
pidMode (string) --
The process namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are host or task . If host is specified, then all containers within the tasks that specified the host PID mode on the same container instance share the same process namespace with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same process namespace. If no value is specified, the default is a private namespace. For more information, see PID settings in the Docker run reference .
If the host PID mode is used, be aware that there is a heightened risk of undesired process namespace expose. For more information, see Docker security.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks using the Fargate launch type.
ipcMode (string) --
The IPC resource namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are host , task , or none . If host is specified, then all containers within the tasks that specified the host IPC mode on the same container instance share the same IPC resources with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same IPC resources. If none is specified, then IPC resources within the containers of a task are private and not shared with other containers in a task or on the container instance. If no value is specified, then the IPC resource namespace sharing depends on the Docker daemon setting on the container instance. For more information, see IPC settings in the Docker run reference .
If the host IPC mode is used, be aware that there is a heightened risk of undesired IPC namespace expose. For more information, see Docker security.
If you are setting namespaced kernel parameters using systemControls for the containers in the task, the following will apply to your IPC resource namespace. For more information, see System Controls in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks that use the host IPC mode, IPC namespace related systemControls are not supported.
For tasks that use the task IPC mode, IPC namespace related systemControls will apply to all containers within a task.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks using the Fargate launch type.

For services using the CODE_DEPLOY deployment controller, you are required to define two target groups for the load balancer. For more information, see Blue/Green Deployment with CodeDeploy in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Warning
If your service's task definition uses the awsvpc network mode (which is required for the Fargate launch type), you must choose ip as the target type, not instance , when creating your target groups because tasks that use the awsvpc network mode are associated with an elastic network interface, not an Amazon EC2 instance.

Registers a new task definition from the supplied family and containerDefinitions . Optionally, you can add data volumes to your containers with the volumes parameter. For more information about task definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
You can specify an IAM role for your task with the taskRoleArn parameter. When you specify an IAM role for a task, its containers can then use the latest versions of the AWS CLI or SDKs to make API requests to the AWS services that are specified in the IAM policy associated with the role. For more information, see IAM Roles for Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
You can specify a Docker networking mode for the containers in your task definition with the networkMode parameter. The available network modes correspond to those described in Network settings in the Docker run reference. If you specify the awsvpc network mode, the task is allocated an elastic network interface, and you must specify a NetworkConfiguration when you create a service or run a task with the task definition. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

string
[REQUIRED]
You must specify a family for a task definition, which allows you to track multiple versions of the same task definition. The family is used as a name for your task definition. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed.
string
The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that containers in this task can assume. All containers in this task are granted the permissions that are specified in this role. For more information, see IAM Roles for Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution role that the Amazon ECS container agent and the Docker daemon can assume.
string
The Docker networking mode to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are none , bridge , awsvpc , and host . The default Docker network mode is bridge . If you are using the Fargate launch type, the awsvpc network mode is required. If you are using the EC2 launch type, any network mode can be used. If the network mode is set to none , you cannot specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the tasks containers do not have external connectivity. The host and awsvpc network modes offer the highest networking performance for containers because they use the EC2 network stack instead of the virtualized network stack provided by the bridge mode.
With the host and awsvpc network modes, exposed container ports are mapped directly to the corresponding host port (for the host network mode) or the attached elastic network interface port (for the awsvpc network mode), so you cannot take advantage of dynamic host port mappings.
If the network mode is awsvpc , the task is allocated an elastic network interface, and you must specify a NetworkConfiguration value when you create a service or run a task with the task definition. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
Currently, only Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs, other Amazon Linux variants with the ecs-init package, or AWS Fargate infrastructure support the awsvpc network mode.
If the network mode is host , you cannot run multiple instantiations of the same task on a single container instance when port mappings are used.
Docker for Windows uses different network modes than Docker for Linux. When you register a task definition with Windows containers, you must not specify a network mode. If you use the console to register a task definition with Windows containers, you must choose the <default> network mode object.
For more information, see Network settings in the Docker run reference .
list
[REQUIRED]
A list of container definitions in JSON format that describe the different containers that make up your task.
(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. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. This parameter maps to name in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --name option to docker run.
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 either repository-url/image:tag or repository-url/image@digest . Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, periods, forward slashes, and number signs are allowed. This parameter maps to Image in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the IMAGE parameter of docker run.
When a new task starts, the Amazon ECS container agent pulls the latest version of the specified image and tag for the container to use. However, subsequent updates to a repository image are not propagated to already running tasks.
Images in Amazon ECR repositories can be specified by either using the full registry/repository:tag or registry/repository@digest . For example, 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:latest or 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>@sha256:94afd1f2e64d908bc90dbca0035a5b567EXAMPLE .
Images in official repositories on Docker Hub use a single name (for example, ubuntu or mongo ).
Images in other repositories on Docker Hub are qualified with an organization name (for example, amazon/amazon-ecs-agent ).
Images in other online repositories are qualified further by a domain name (for example, quay.io/assemblyline/ubuntu ).
repositoryCredentials (dict) --
The private repository authentication credentials to use.
credentialsParameter (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret containing the private repository credentials.
Note
When you are using the Amazon ECS API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK, if the secret exists in the same Region as the task that you are launching then you can use either the full ARN or the name of the secret. When you are using the AWS Management Console, you must specify the full ARN of the secret.
cpu (integer) --
The number of cpu units reserved for the container. This parameter maps to CpuShares in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --cpu-shares option to docker run.
This field is optional for tasks using the Fargate launch type, and the only requirement is that the total amount of CPU reserved for all containers within a task be lower than the task-level cpu value.
Note
You can determine the number of CPU units that are available per EC2 instance type by multiplying the vCPUs listed for that instance type on the Amazon EC2 Instances detail page by 1,024.
For example, if you run a single-container task on a single-core instance type with 512 CPU units specified for that container, and that is the only task running on the container instance, that container could use the full 1,024 CPU unit share at any given time. However, if you launched another copy of the same task on that container instance, each task would be guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed, and each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it, but if both tasks were 100% active all of the time, they would be limited to 512 CPU units.
Linux containers share unallocated CPU units with other containers on the container instance with the same ratio as their allocated amount. For example, if you run a single-container task on a single-core instance type with 512 CPU units specified for that container, and that is the only task running on the container instance, that container could use the full 1,024 CPU unit share at any given time. However, if you launched another copy of the same task on that container instance, each task would be guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed, and each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it, but if both tasks were 100% active all of the time, they would be limited to 512 CPU units.
On Linux container instances, the Docker daemon on the container instance uses the CPU value to calculate the relative CPU share ratios for running containers. For more information, see CPU share constraint in the Docker documentation. The minimum valid CPU share value that the Linux kernel allows is 2. However, the CPU parameter is not required, and you can use CPU values below 2 in your container definitions. For CPU values below 2 (including null), the behavior varies based on your Amazon ECS container agent version:
Agent versions less than or equal to 1.1.0: Null and zero CPU values are passed to Docker as 0, which Docker then converts to 1,024 CPU shares. CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 1, which the Linux kernel converts to two CPU shares.
Agent versions greater than or equal to 1.2.0: Null, zero, and CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 2.
On Windows container instances, the CPU limit is enforced as an absolute limit, or a quota. Windows containers only have access to the specified amount of CPU that is described in the task definition.
memory (integer) --
The amount (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. The total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task must be lower than the task memory value, if one is specified. This parameter maps to Memory in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory option to docker run.
If using the Fargate launch type, this parameter is optional.
If using the EC2 launch type, you must specify either a task-level memory value or a container-level memory value. If you specify both a container-level memory and memoryReservation value, memory must be greater than memoryReservation . If you specify memoryReservation , then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance on which the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory is used.
The Docker daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container, so you should not specify fewer than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
memoryReservation (integer) --
The soft limit (in MiB) of memory to reserve for the container. When system memory is under heavy contention, Docker attempts to keep the container memory to this soft limit. However, your container can consume more memory when it needs to, up to either the hard limit specified with the memory parameter (if applicable), or all of the available memory on the container instance, whichever comes first. This parameter maps to MemoryReservation in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory-reservation option to docker run.
If a task-level memory value is not specified, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in a container definition. If you specify both, memory must be greater than memoryReservation . If you specify memoryReservation , then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance on which the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory is used.
For example, if your container normally uses 128 MiB of memory, but occasionally bursts to 256 MiB of memory for short periods of time, you can set a memoryReservation of 128 MiB, and a memory hard limit of 300 MiB. This configuration would allow the container to only reserve 128 MiB of memory from the remaining resources on the container instance, but also allow the container to consume more memory resources when needed.
The Docker daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container, so you should not specify fewer than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
links (list) --
The links parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings. This parameter is only supported if the network mode of a task definition is bridge . The name:internalName construct is analogous to name:alias in Docker links. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. For more information about linking Docker containers, go to Legacy container links in the Docker documentation. This parameter maps to Links in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --link option to docker run.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
Warning
Containers that are collocated on a single container instance may be able to communicate with each other without requiring links or host port mappings. Network isolation is achieved on the container instance using security groups and VPC settings.
(string) --
portMappings (list) --
The list of port mappings for the container. Port mappings allow containers to access ports on the host container instance to send or receive traffic.
For task definitions that use the awsvpc network mode, you should only specify the containerPort . The hostPort can be left blank or it must be the same value as the containerPort .
Port mappings on Windows use the NetNAT gateway address rather than localhost . There is no loopback for port mappings on Windows, so you cannot access a container's mapped port from the host itself.
This parameter maps to PortBindings in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --publish option to docker run. If the network mode of a task definition is set to none , then you can't specify port mappings. If the network mode of a task definition is set to host , then host ports must either be undefined or they must match the container port in the port mapping.
Note
After a task reaches the RUNNING status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the Network Bindings section of a container description for a selected task in the Amazon ECS console. The assignments are also visible in the networkBindings section DescribeTasks responses.
(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.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort . The hostPort can be left blank or it must be the same value as the containerPort .
After a task reaches the RUNNING status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the networkBindings section of DescribeTasks API responses.
containerPort (integer) --
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort .
If you are using containers in a task with the bridge network mode and you specify a container port and not a host port, your container automatically receives a host port in the ephemeral port range. For more information, see hostPort . Port mappings that are automatically assigned in this way do not count toward the 100 reserved ports limit of a container instance.
Warning
You cannot expose the same container port for multiple protocols. An error will be returned if this is attempted.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, the hostPort can either be left blank or set to the same value as the containerPort .
If you are using containers in a task with the bridge network mode, you can specify a non-reserved host port for your container port mapping, or you can omit the hostPort (or set it to 0 ) while specifying a containerPort and your container automatically receives a port in the ephemeral port range for your container instance operating system and Docker version.
The default ephemeral port range for Docker version 1.6.0 and later is listed on the instance under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range . If this kernel parameter is unavailable, the default ephemeral port range from 49153 through 65535 is used. Do not attempt to specify a host port in the ephemeral port range as these are reserved for automatic assignment. In general, ports below 32768 are outside of the ephemeral port range.
Note
The default ephemeral port range from 49153 through 65535 is always used for Docker versions before 1.6.0.
The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS container agent ports 51678-51680. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running (after a task stops, the host port is released). The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources of DescribeContainerInstances output. A container instance can have up to 100 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports. Automatically assigned ports don't count toward the 100 reserved ports limit.
protocol (string) --
The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are tcp and udp . The default is tcp .
essential (boolean) --
If the essential parameter of a container is marked as true , and that container fails or stops for any reason, all other containers that are part of the task are stopped. If the essential parameter of a container is marked as false , then its failure does not affect the rest of the containers in a task. If this parameter is omitted, a container is assumed to be essential.
All tasks must have at least one essential container. If you have an application that is composed of multiple containers, you should group containers that are used for a common purpose into components, and separate the different components into multiple task definitions. For more information, see Application Architecture in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
entryPoint (list) --
Warning
Early versions of the Amazon ECS container agent do not properly handle entryPoint parameters. If you have problems using entryPoint , update your container agent or enter your commands and arguments as command array items instead.
The entry point that is passed to the container. This parameter maps to Entrypoint in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --entrypoint option to docker run. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#entrypoint.
(string) --
command (list) --
The command that is passed to the container. This parameter maps to Cmd in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the COMMAND parameter to docker run. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#cmd. If there are multiple arguments, each argument should be a separated string in the array.
(string) --
environment (list) --
The environment variables to pass to a container. This parameter maps to Env in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --env option to docker run.
Warning
We do not recommend using plaintext environment variables for sensitive information, such as credential data.
(dict) --
A key-value pair object.
name (string) --
The name of the key-value pair. For environment variables, this is the name of the environment variable.
value (string) --

mountPoints (list) --
The mount points for data volumes in your container.
This parameter maps to Volumes in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --volume option to docker run.
Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData . Windows containers cannot mount directories on a different drive, and mount point cannot be across drives.
(dict) --
Details on a volume mount point that is used in a container definition.
sourceVolume (string) --
The name of the volume to mount. Must be a volume name referenced in the name parameter of task definition volume .
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. This parameter maps to VolumesFrom in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --volumes-from option to docker run.
(dict) --
Details on a data volume from another container in the same task definition.
sourceContainer (string) --
The name of another container within the same task definition from which to mount volumes.
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 .
linuxParameters (dict) --
Linux-specific modifications that are applied to the container, such as Linux kernel capabilities. For more information see KernelCapabilities.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
capabilities (dict) --
The Linux capabilities for the container that are added to or dropped from the default configuration provided by Docker.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, capabilities is supported but the add parameter is not supported.
add (list) --
The Linux capabilities for the container that have been added to the default configuration provided by Docker. This parameter maps to CapAdd in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --cap-add option to docker run.

(string) --
devices (list) --
Any host devices to expose to the container. This parameter maps to Devices in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --device option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the devices parameter is not supported.
(dict) --
An object representing a container instance host device.
hostPath (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The path for the device on the host container instance.
containerPath (string) --
The path inside the container at which to expose the host device.
permissions (list) --
The explicit permissions to provide to the container for the device. By default, the container has permissions for read , write , and mknod for the device.
(string) --
initProcessEnabled (boolean) --
Run an init process inside the container that forwards signals and reaps processes. This parameter maps to the --init option to docker run.

sharedMemorySize (integer) --
The value for the size (in MiB) of the /dev/shm volume. This parameter maps to the --shm-size option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the sharedMemorySize parameter is not supported.
tmpfs (list) --
The container path, mount options, and size (in MiB) of the tmpfs mount. This parameter maps to the --tmpfs option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the tmpfs parameter is not supported.
(dict) --
The container path, mount options, and size of the tmpfs mount.
containerPath (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The absolute file path where the tmpfs volume is to be mounted.

The list of tmpfs volume mount options.
Valid values: "defaults" | "ro" | "rw" | "suid" | "nosuid" | "dev" | "nodev" | "exec" | "noexec" | "sync" | "async" | "dirsync" | "remount" | "mand" | "nomand" | "atime" | "noatime" | "diratime" | "nodiratime" | "bind" | "rbind" | "unbindable" | "runbindable" | "private" | "rprivate" | "shared" | "rshared" | "slave" | "rslave" | "relatime" | "norelatime" | "strictatime" | "nostrictatime" | "mode" | "uid" | "gid" | "nr_inodes" | "nr_blocks" | "mpol"
(string) --
maxSwap (integer) --
The total amount of swap memory (in MiB) a container can use. This parameter will be translated to the --memory-swap option to docker run where the value would be the sum of the container memory plus the maxSwap value.
If a maxSwap value of 0 is specified, the container will not use swap. Accepted values are 0 or any positive integer. If the maxSwap parameter is omitted, the container will use the swap configuration for the container instance it is running on. A maxSwap value must be set for the swappiness parameter to be used.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the maxSwap parameter is not supported.
swappiness (integer) --
This allows you to tune a container's memory swappiness behavior. A swappiness value of 0 will cause swapping to not happen unless absolutely necessary. A swappiness value of 100 will cause pages to be swapped very aggressively. Accepted values are whole numbers between 0 and 100 . If the swappiness parameter is not specified, a default value of 60 is used. If a value is not specified for maxSwap then this parameter is ignored. This parameter maps to the --memory-swappiness option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the swappiness parameter is not supported.
secrets (list) --

(dict) --
An object representing the secret to expose to your container. Secrets can be exposed to a container in the following ways:
To inject sensitive data into your containers as environment variables, use the secrets container definition parameter.
To reference sensitive information in the log configuration of a container, use the secretOptions container definition parameter.
For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the secret.
valueFrom (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the AWS Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Note
If the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you are launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
dependsOn (list) --
The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
(dict) --
The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed.
Your Amazon ECS container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, container dependency parameters are not supported.
containerName (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of a container.
condition (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The dependency condition of the container. The following are the available conditions and their behavior:
START - This condition emulates the behavior of links and volumes today. It validates that a dependent container is started before permitting other containers to start.
COMPLETE - This condition validates that a dependent container runs to completion (exits) before permitting other containers to start. This can be useful for nonessential containers that run a script and then exit.
SUCCESS - This condition is the same as COMPLETE , but it also requires that the container exits with a zero status.
HEALTHY - This condition validates that the dependent container passes its Docker health check before permitting other containers to start. This requires that the dependent container has health checks configured. This condition is confirmed only at task startup.
startTimeout (integer) --
Time duration (in seconds) to wait before giving up on resolving dependencies for a container. For example, you specify two containers in a task definition with containerA having a dependency on containerB reaching a COMPLETE , SUCCESS , or HEALTHY status. If a startTimeout value is specified for containerB and it does not reach the desired status within that time then containerA will give up and not start. This results in the task transitioning to a STOPPED state.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable a container start timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
stopTimeout (integer) --
Time duration (in seconds) to wait before the container is forcefully killed if it doesn't exit normally on its own.
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the max stopTimeout value is 2 minutes and the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the stop timeout value for the container takes precedence over the ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT container agent configuration parameter, if used. Container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable a container stop timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

This parameter maps to SecurityOpt in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --security-opt option to docker run.
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register with the ECS_SELINUX_CAPABLE=true or ECS_APPARMOR_CAPABLE=true environment variables before containers placed on that instance can use these security options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.

By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container may use a different logging driver than the Docker daemon by specifying a log driver with this parameter in the container definition. To use a different logging driver for a container, the log system must be configured properly on the container instance (or on a different log server for remote logging options). For more information on the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation.
Note
Amazon ECS currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type). Additional log drivers may be available in future releases of the Amazon ECS container agent.
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register the logging drivers available on that instance with the ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS environment variable before containers placed on that instance can use these log configuration options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
logDriver (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The log driver to use for the container. The valid values listed for this parameter are log drivers that the Amazon ECS container agent can communicate with by default.
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the supported log drivers are awslogs and splunk .
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the supported log drivers are awslogs , fluentd , gelf , json-file , journald , logentries , syslog , and splunk .
For more information about using the awslogs log driver, see Using the awslogs Log Driver in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
If you have a custom driver that is not listed above that you would like to work with the Amazon ECS container agent, you can fork the Amazon ECS container agent project that is available on GitHub and customize it to work with that driver. We encourage you to submit pull requests for changes that you would like to have included. However, Amazon Web Services does not currently support running modified copies of this software.
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'

The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the AWS Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Note
If the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you are launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
healthCheck (dict) --
The health check command and associated configuration parameters for the container. This parameter maps to HealthCheck in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the HEALTHCHECK parameter of docker run.
command (list) -- [REQUIRED]
A string array representing the command that the container runs to determine if it is healthy. The string array must start with CMD to execute the command arguments directly, or CMD-SHELL to run the command with the container's default shell. For example:
[ "CMD-SHELL", "curl -f http://localhost/ || exit 1" ]
An exit code of 0 indicates success, and non-zero exit code indicates failure. For more information, see HealthCheck in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API.

The number of times to retry a failed health check before the container is considered unhealthy. You may specify between 1 and 10 retries. The default value is 3.
startPeriod (integer) --
The optional grace period within which to provide containers time to bootstrap before failed health checks count towards the maximum number of retries. You may specify between 0 and 300 seconds. The startPeriod is disabled by default.
Note
If a health check succeeds within the startPeriod , then the container is considered healthy and any subsequent failures count toward the maximum number of retries.
systemControls (list) --
A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --sysctl option to docker run.
Note
It is not recommended that you specify network-related systemControls parameters for multiple containers in a single task that also uses either the awsvpc or host network modes. For tasks that use the awsvpc network mode, the container that is started last determines which systemControls parameters take effect. For tasks that use the host network mode, it changes the container instance's namespaced kernel parameters as well as the containers.
(dict) --
A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --sysctl option to docker run.
It is not recommended that you specify network-related systemControls parameters for multiple containers in a single task that also uses either the awsvpc or host network mode for the following reasons:
For tasks that use the awsvpc network mode, if you set systemControls for any container, it applies to all containers in the task. If you set different systemControls for multiple containers in a single task, the container that is started last determines which systemControls take effect.
For tasks that use the host network mode, the systemControls parameter applies to the container instance's kernel parameter as well as that of all containers of any tasks running on that container instance.
namespace (string) --
The namespaced kernel parameter for which to set a value .
value (string) --
The value for the namespaced kernel parameter specified in namespace .
resourceRequirements (list) --
The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The only supported resource is a GPU.

The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The supported resource types are GPUs and Elastic Inference accelerators. For more information, see Working with GPUs on Amazon ECS or Working with Amazon Elastic Inference on Amazon ECS in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide
value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The value for the specified resource type.
If the GPU type is used, the value is the number of physical GPUs the Amazon ECS container agent will reserve for the container. The number of GPUs reserved for all containers in a task should not exceed the number of available GPUs on the container instance the task is launched on.
If the InferenceAccelerator type is used, the value should match the deviceName for an InferenceAccelerator specified in a task definition.
type (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The type of resource to assign to a container. The supported values are GPU or InferenceAccelerator .
firelensConfiguration (dict) --
The FireLens configuration for the container. This is used to specify and configure a log router for container logs. For more information, see Custom Log Routing in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
type (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The log router to use. The valid values are fluentd or fluentbit .
options (dict) --
The options to use when configuring the log router. This field is optional and can be used to add additional metadata, such as the task, task definition, cluster, and container instance details to the log event. If specified, the syntax to use is "options":{"enable-ecs-log-metadata":"true|false"} .
(string) --
(string) --
list
A list of volume definitions in JSON format that containers in your task may use.
(dict) --
A data volume used in a task definition. For tasks that use a Docker volume, specify a DockerVolumeConfiguration . For tasks that use a bind mount host volume, specify a host and optional sourcePath . For more information, see Using Data Volumes in Tasks.
name (string) --
The name of the volume. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .
host (dict) --
This parameter is specified when you are using bind mount host volumes. Bind mount host volumes are supported when you are using either the EC2 or Fargate launch types. The contents of the host parameter determine whether your bind mount host volume persists on the host container instance and where it is stored. If the host parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon assigns a host path for your data volume. However, the data is not guaranteed to persist after the containers associated with it stop running.
Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData . Windows containers cannot mount directories on a different drive, and mount point cannot be across drives. For example, you can mount C:\my\path:C:\my\path and D:\:D:\ , but not D:\my\path:C:\my\path or D:\:C:\my\path .
sourcePath (string) --
When the host parameter is used, specify a sourcePath to declare 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. If the host parameter contains a sourcePath file location, then the data volume persists at the specified location on the host container instance until you delete it manually. If the sourcePath value does not exist on the host container instance, the Docker daemon creates it. If the location does exist, the contents of the source path folder are exported.
If you are using the Fargate launch type, the sourcePath parameter is not supported.
dockerVolumeConfiguration (dict) --
This parameter is specified when you are using Docker volumes. Docker volumes are only supported when you are using the EC2 launch type. Windows containers only support the use of the local driver. To use bind mounts, specify a host instead.
scope (string) --
The scope for the Docker volume that determines its lifecycle. Docker volumes that are scoped to a task are automatically provisioned when the task starts and destroyed when the task stops. Docker volumes that are scoped as shared persist after the task stops.
autoprovision (boolean) --
If this value is true , the Docker volume is created if it does not already exist.
Note
This field is only used if the scope is shared .
driver (string) --
The Docker volume driver to use. The driver value must match the driver name provided by Docker because it is used for task placement. If the driver was installed using the Docker plugin CLI, use docker plugin ls to retrieve the driver name from your container instance. If the driver was installed using another method, use Docker plugin discovery to retrieve the driver name. For more information, see Docker plugin discovery. This parameter maps to Driver in the Create a volume section of the Docker Remote API and the xxdriver option to docker volume create.
driverOpts (dict) --
A map of Docker driver-specific options passed through. This parameter maps to DriverOpts in the Create a volume section of the Docker Remote API and the xxopt option to docker volume create.

Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks using the Fargate launch type.
string
The IPC resource namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are host , task , or none . If host is specified, then all containers within the tasks that specified the host IPC mode on the same container instance share the same IPC resources with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same IPC resources. If none is specified, then IPC resources within the containers of a task are private and not shared with other containers in a task or on the container instance. If no value is specified, then the IPC resource namespace sharing depends on the Docker daemon setting on the container instance. For more information, see IPC settings in the Docker run reference .
If the host IPC mode is used, be aware that there is a heightened risk of undesired IPC namespace expose. For more information, see Docker security.
If you are setting namespaced kernel parameters using systemControls for the containers in the task, the following will apply to your IPC resource namespace. For more information, see System Controls in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

Response Structure
(dict) --
taskDefinition (dict) --
The full description of the registered task definition.
taskDefinitionArn (string) --
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) 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 about container definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon Elastic 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. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. This parameter maps to name in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --name option to docker run.
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 either repository-url/image:tag or repository-url/image@digest . Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, periods, forward slashes, and number signs are allowed. This parameter maps to Image in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the IMAGE parameter of docker run.
When a new task starts, the Amazon ECS container agent pulls the latest version of the specified image and tag for the container to use. However, subsequent updates to a repository image are not propagated to already running tasks.
Images in Amazon ECR repositories can be specified by either using the full registry/repository:tag or registry/repository@digest . For example, 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:latest or 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>@sha256:94afd1f2e64d908bc90dbca0035a5b567EXAMPLE .
Images in official repositories on Docker Hub use a single name (for example, ubuntu or mongo ).
Images in other repositories on Docker Hub are qualified with an organization name (for example, amazon/amazon-ecs-agent ).
Images in other online repositories are qualified further by a domain name (for example, quay.io/assemblyline/ubuntu ).
repositoryCredentials (dict) --
The private repository authentication credentials to use.
credentialsParameter (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret containing the private repository credentials.
Note
When you are using the Amazon ECS API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK, if the secret exists in the same Region as the task that you are launching then you can use either the full ARN or the name of the secret. When you are using the AWS Management Console, you must specify the full ARN of the secret.
cpu (integer) --
The number of cpu units reserved for the container. This parameter maps to CpuShares in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --cpu-shares option to docker run.
This field is optional for tasks using the Fargate launch type, and the only requirement is that the total amount of CPU reserved for all containers within a task be lower than the task-level cpu value.
Note
You can determine the number of CPU units that are available per EC2 instance type by multiplying the vCPUs listed for that instance type on the Amazon EC2 Instances detail page by 1,024.
For example, if you run a single-container task on a single-core instance type with 512 CPU units specified for that container, and that is the only task running on the container instance, that container could use the full 1,024 CPU unit share at any given time. However, if you launched another copy of the same task on that container instance, each task would be guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed, and each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it, but if both tasks were 100% active all of the time, they would be limited to 512 CPU units.
Linux containers share unallocated CPU units with other containers on the container instance with the same ratio as their allocated amount. For example, if you run a single-container task on a single-core instance type with 512 CPU units specified for that container, and that is the only task running on the container instance, that container could use the full 1,024 CPU unit share at any given time. However, if you launched another copy of the same task on that container instance, each task would be guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed, and each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it, but if both tasks were 100% active all of the time, they would be limited to 512 CPU units.
On Linux container instances, the Docker daemon on the container instance uses the CPU value to calculate the relative CPU share ratios for running containers. For more information, see CPU share constraint in the Docker documentation. The minimum valid CPU share value that the Linux kernel allows is 2. However, the CPU parameter is not required, and you can use CPU values below 2 in your container definitions. For CPU values below 2 (including null), the behavior varies based on your Amazon ECS container agent version:
Agent versions less than or equal to 1.1.0: Null and zero CPU values are passed to Docker as 0, which Docker then converts to 1,024 CPU shares. CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 1, which the Linux kernel converts to two CPU shares.
Agent versions greater than or equal to 1.2.0: Null, zero, and CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 2.
On Windows container instances, the CPU limit is enforced as an absolute limit, or a quota. Windows containers only have access to the specified amount of CPU that is described in the task definition.
memory (integer) --
The amount (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. The total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task must be lower than the task memory value, if one is specified. This parameter maps to Memory in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory option to docker run.
If using the Fargate launch type, this parameter is optional.
If using the EC2 launch type, you must specify either a task-level memory value or a container-level memory value. If you specify both a container-level memory and memoryReservation value, memory must be greater than memoryReservation . If you specify memoryReservation , then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance on which the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory is used.
The Docker daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container, so you should not specify fewer than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
memoryReservation (integer) --
The soft limit (in MiB) of memory to reserve for the container. When system memory is under heavy contention, Docker attempts to keep the container memory to this soft limit. However, your container can consume more memory when it needs to, up to either the hard limit specified with the memory parameter (if applicable), or all of the available memory on the container instance, whichever comes first. This parameter maps to MemoryReservation in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory-reservation option to docker run.
If a task-level memory value is not specified, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in a container definition. If you specify both, memory must be greater than memoryReservation . If you specify memoryReservation , then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance on which the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory is used.
For example, if your container normally uses 128 MiB of memory, but occasionally bursts to 256 MiB of memory for short periods of time, you can set a memoryReservation of 128 MiB, and a memory hard limit of 300 MiB. This configuration would allow the container to only reserve 128 MiB of memory from the remaining resources on the container instance, but also allow the container to consume more memory resources when needed.
The Docker daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container, so you should not specify fewer than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
links (list) --
The links parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings. This parameter is only supported if the network mode of a task definition is bridge . The name:internalName construct is analogous to name:alias in Docker links. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. For more information about linking Docker containers, go to Legacy container links in the Docker documentation. This parameter maps to Links in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --link option to docker run.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
Warning
Containers that are collocated on a single container instance may be able to communicate with each other without requiring links or host port mappings. Network isolation is achieved on the container instance using security groups and VPC settings.
(string) --
portMappings (list) --
The list of port mappings for the container. Port mappings allow containers to access ports on the host container instance to send or receive traffic.
For task definitions that use the awsvpc network mode, you should only specify the containerPort . The hostPort can be left blank or it must be the same value as the containerPort .
Port mappings on Windows use the NetNAT gateway address rather than localhost . There is no loopback for port mappings on Windows, so you cannot access a container's mapped port from the host itself.
This parameter maps to PortBindings in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --publish option to docker run. If the network mode of a task definition is set to none , then you can't specify port mappings. If the network mode of a task definition is set to host , then host ports must either be undefined or they must match the container port in the port mapping.
Note
After a task reaches the RUNNING status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the Network Bindings section of a container description for a selected task in the Amazon ECS console. The assignments are also visible in the networkBindings section DescribeTasks responses.
(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.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort . The hostPort can be left blank or it must be the same value as the containerPort .
After a task reaches the RUNNING status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the networkBindings section of DescribeTasks API responses.
containerPort (integer) --
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort .
If you are using containers in a task with the bridge network mode and you specify a container port and not a host port, your container automatically receives a host port in the ephemeral port range. For more information, see hostPort . Port mappings that are automatically assigned in this way do not count toward the 100 reserved ports limit of a container instance.
Warning
You cannot expose the same container port for multiple protocols. An error will be returned if this is attempted.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container.
If you are using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, the hostPort can either be left blank or set to the same value as the containerPort .
If you are using containers in a task with the bridge network mode, you can specify a non-reserved host port for your container port mapping, or you can omit the hostPort (or set it to 0 ) while specifying a containerPort and your container automatically receives a port in the ephemeral port range for your container instance operating system and Docker version.
The default ephemeral port range for Docker version 1.6.0 and later is listed on the instance under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range . If this kernel parameter is unavailable, the default ephemeral port range from 49153 through 65535 is used. Do not attempt to specify a host port in the ephemeral port range as these are reserved for automatic assignment. In general, ports below 32768 are outside of the ephemeral port range.
Note
The default ephemeral port range from 49153 through 65535 is always used for Docker versions before 1.6.0.
The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS container agent ports 51678-51680. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running (after a task stops, the host port is released). The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources of DescribeContainerInstances output. A container instance can have up to 100 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports. Automatically assigned ports don't count toward the 100 reserved ports limit.
protocol (string) --
The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are tcp and udp . The default is tcp .
essential (boolean) --
If the essential parameter of a container is marked as true , and that container fails or stops for any reason, all other containers that are part of the task are stopped. If the essential parameter of a container is marked as false , then its failure does not affect the rest of the containers in a task. If this parameter is omitted, a container is assumed to be essential.
All tasks must have at least one essential container. If you have an application that is composed of multiple containers, you should group containers that are used for a common purpose into components, and separate the different components into multiple task definitions. For more information, see Application Architecture in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
entryPoint (list) --
Warning
Early versions of the Amazon ECS container agent do not properly handle entryPoint parameters. If you have problems using entryPoint , update your container agent or enter your commands and arguments as command array items instead.
The entry point that is passed to the container. This parameter maps to Entrypoint in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --entrypoint option to docker run. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#entrypoint.
(string) --
command (list) --
The command that is passed to the container. This parameter maps to Cmd in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the COMMAND parameter to docker run. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#cmd. If there are multiple arguments, each argument should be a separated string in the array.
(string) --
environment (list) --
The environment variables to pass to a container. This parameter maps to Env in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --env option to docker run.
Warning
We do not recommend using plaintext environment variables for sensitive information, such as credential data.
(dict) --
A key-value pair object.
name (string) --
The name of the key-value pair. For environment variables, this is the name of the environment variable.
value (string) --

mountPoints (list) --
The mount points for data volumes in your container.
This parameter maps to Volumes in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --volume option to docker run.
Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData . Windows containers cannot mount directories on a different drive, and mount point cannot be across drives.
(dict) --
Details on a volume mount point that is used in a container definition.
sourceVolume (string) --
The name of the volume to mount. Must be a volume name referenced in the name parameter of task definition volume .
containerPath (string) --

Data volumes to mount from another container. This parameter maps to VolumesFrom in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --volumes-from option to docker run.
(dict) --
Details on a data volume from another container in the same task definition.
sourceContainer (string) --
The name of another container within the same task definition from which to mount volumes.
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 .
linuxParameters (dict) --
Linux-specific modifications that are applied to the container, such as Linux kernel capabilities. For more information see KernelCapabilities.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
capabilities (dict) --
The Linux capabilities for the container that are added to or dropped from the default configuration provided by Docker.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, capabilities is supported but the add parameter is not supported.
add (list) --
The Linux capabilities for the container that have been added to the default configuration provided by Docker. This parameter maps to CapAdd in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --cap-add option to docker run.

(string) --
devices (list) --
Any host devices to expose to the container. This parameter maps to Devices in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --device option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the devices parameter is not supported.

hostPath (string) --
The path for the device on the host container instance.
containerPath (string) --
The path inside the container at which to expose the host device.
permissions (list) --
The explicit permissions to provide to the container for the device. By default, the container has permissions for read , write , and mknod for the device.
(string) --
initProcessEnabled (boolean) --
Run an init process inside the container that forwards signals and reaps processes. This parameter maps to the --init option to docker run. This parameter requires version 1.25 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance.

sharedMemorySize (integer) --
The value for the size (in MiB) of the /dev/shm volume. This parameter maps to the --shm-size option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the sharedMemorySize parameter is not supported.
tmpfs (list) --
The container path, mount options, and size (in MiB) of the tmpfs mount. This parameter maps to the --tmpfs option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the tmpfs parameter is not supported.
(dict) --
The container path, mount options, and size of the tmpfs mount.
containerPath (string) --
The absolute file path where the tmpfs volume is to be mounted.

(string) --
maxSwap (integer) --
The total amount of swap memory (in MiB) a container can use. This parameter will be translated to the --memory-swap option to docker run where the value would be the sum of the container memory plus the maxSwap value.
If a maxSwap value of 0 is specified, the container will not use swap. Accepted values are 0 or any positive integer. If the maxSwap parameter is omitted, the container will use the swap configuration for the container instance it is running on. A maxSwap value must be set for the swappiness parameter to be used.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the maxSwap parameter is not supported.
swappiness (integer) --
This allows you to tune a container's memory swappiness behavior. A swappiness value of 0 will cause swapping to not happen unless absolutely necessary. A swappiness value of 100 will cause pages to be swapped very aggressively. Accepted values are whole numbers between 0 and 100 . If the swappiness parameter is not specified, a default value of 60 is used. If a value is not specified for maxSwap then this parameter is ignored. This parameter maps to the --memory-swappiness option to docker run.
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, the swappiness parameter is not supported.
secrets (list) --
The secrets to pass to the container. For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
(dict) --
An object representing the secret to expose to your container. Secrets can be exposed to a container in the following ways:
To inject sensitive data into your containers as environment variables, use the secrets container definition parameter.
To reference sensitive information in the log configuration of a container, use the secretOptions container definition parameter.
For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
name (string) --
The name of the secret.
valueFrom (string) --
The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the AWS Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Note
If the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you are launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
dependsOn (list) --
The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
(dict) --
The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed.
Your Amazon ECS container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package.

For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
If you are using tasks that use the Fargate launch type, container dependency parameters are not supported.
containerName (string) --
The name of a container.
condition (string) --
The dependency condition of the container. The following are the available conditions and their behavior:
START - This condition emulates the behavior of links and volumes today. It validates that a dependent container is started before permitting other containers to start.
COMPLETE - This condition validates that a dependent container runs to completion (exits) before permitting other containers to start. This can be useful for nonessential containers that run a script and then exit.
SUCCESS - This condition is the same as COMPLETE , but it also requires that the container exits with a zero status.
HEALTHY - This condition validates that the dependent container passes its Docker health check before permitting other containers to start. This requires that the dependent container has health checks configured. This condition is confirmed only at task startup.
startTimeout (integer) --
Time duration (in seconds) to wait before giving up on resolving dependencies for a container. For example, you specify two containers in a task definition with containerA having a dependency on containerB reaching a COMPLETE , SUCCESS , or HEALTHY status. If a startTimeout value is specified for containerB and it does not reach the desired status within that time then containerA will give up and not start. This results in the task transitioning to a STOPPED state.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable a container start timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
stopTimeout (integer) --
Time duration (in seconds) to wait before the container is forcefully killed if it doesn't exit normally on its own.
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the max stopTimeout value is 2 minutes and the task or service requires platform version 1.3.0 or later.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the stop timeout value for the container takes precedence over the ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT container agent configuration parameter, if used. Container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to enable a container stop timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide . If you are using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301 or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init . For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register with the ECS_SELINUX_CAPABLE=true or ECS_APPARMOR_CAPABLE=true environment variables before containers placed on that instance can use these security options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.

logConfiguration (dict) --
The log configuration specification for the container.
This parameter maps to LogConfig in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --log-driver option to docker run. By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container may use a different logging driver than the Docker daemon by specifying a log driver with this parameter in the container definition. To use a different logging driver for a container, the log system must be configured properly on the container instance (or on a different log server for remote logging options). For more information on the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation.
Note
Amazon ECS currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type). Additional log drivers may be available in future releases of the Amazon ECS container agent.
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register the logging drivers available on that instance with the ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS environment variable before containers placed on that instance can use these log configuration options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
logDriver (string) --
The log driver to use for the container. The valid values listed for this parameter are log drivers that the Amazon ECS container agent can communicate with by default.
For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the supported log drivers are awslogs and splunk .
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the supported log drivers are awslogs , fluentd , gelf , json-file , journald , logentries , syslog , and splunk .
For more information about using the awslogs log driver, see Using the awslogs Log Driver in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
If you have a custom driver that is not listed above that you would like to work with the Amazon ECS container agent, you can fork the Amazon ECS container agent project that is available on GitHub and customize it to work with that driver. We encourage you to submit pull requests for changes that you would like to have included. However, Amazon Web Services does not currently support running modified copies of this software.
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'

The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the AWS Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Note
If the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you are launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
healthCheck (dict) --
The health check command and associated configuration parameters for the container. This parameter maps to HealthCheck in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the HEALTHCHECK parameter of docker run.
command (list) --
A string array representing the command that the container runs to determine if it is healthy. The string array must start with CMD to execute the command arguments directly, or CMD-SHELL to run the command with the container's default shell. For example:
[ "CMD-SHELL", "curl -f http://localhost/ || exit 1" ]
An exit code of 0 indicates success, and non-zero exit code indicates failure. For more information, see HealthCheck in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API.
(string) --

The optional grace period within which to provide containers time to bootstrap before failed health checks count towards the maximum number of retries. You may specify between 0 and 300 seconds. The startPeriod is disabled by default.
Note
If a health check succeeds within the startPeriod , then the container is considered healthy and any subsequent failures count toward the maximum number of retries.
systemControls (list) --
A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --sysctl option to docker run.
Note
It is not recommended that you specify network-related systemControls parameters for multiple containers in a single task that also uses either the awsvpc or host network modes. For tasks that use the awsvpc network mode, the container that is started last determines which systemControls parameters take effect. For tasks that use the host network mode, it changes the container instance's namespaced kernel parameters as well as the containers.
(dict) --
A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --sysctl option to docker run.
It is not recommended that you specify network-related systemControls parameters for multiple containers in a single task that also uses either the awsvpc or host network mode for the following reasons:
For tasks that use the awsvpc network mode, if you set systemControls for any container, it applies to all containers in the task. If you set different systemControls for multiple containers in a single task, the container that is started last determines which systemControls take effect.
For tasks that use the host network mode, the systemControls parameter applies to the container instance's kernel parameter as well as that of all containers of any tasks running on that container instance.
namespace (string) --
The namespaced kernel parameter for which to set a value .
value (string) --
The value for the namespaced kernel parameter specified in namespace .
resourceRequirements (list) --
The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The only supported resource is a GPU.
(dict) --
The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The supported resource types are GPUs and Elastic Inference accelerators. For more information, see Working with GPUs on Amazon ECS or Working with Amazon Elastic Inference on Amazon ECS in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide
value (string) --
The value for the specified resource type.
If the GPU type is used, the value is the number of physical GPUs the Amazon ECS container agent will reserve for the container. The number of GPUs reserved for all containers in a task should not exceed the number of available GPUs on the container instance the task is launched on.
If the InferenceAccelerator type is used, the value should match the deviceName for an InferenceAccelerator specified in a task definition.
type (string) --
The type of resource to assign to a container. The supported values are GPU or InferenceAccelerator .
firelensConfiguration (dict) --
The FireLens configuration for the container. This is used to specify and configure a log router for container logs. For more information, see Custom Log Routing in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
type (string) --
The log router to use. The valid values are fluentd or fluentbit .
options (dict) --
The options to use when configuring the log router. This field is optional and can be used to add additional metadata, such as the task, task definition, cluster, and container instance details to the log event. If specified, the syntax to use is "options":{"enable-ecs-log-metadata":"true|false"} .
(string) --
(string) --
family (string) --
The name of a family that this task definition is registered to. A family groups multiple versions of a task definition. Amazon ECS gives the first task definition that you registered to a family a revision number of 1. Amazon ECS gives sequential revision numbers to each task definition that you add.
taskRoleArn (string) --
The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that grants containers in the task permission to call AWS APIs on your behalf. For more information, see Amazon ECS Task Role in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
IAM roles for tasks on Windows require that the -EnableTaskIAMRole option is set when you launch the Amazon ECS-optimized Windows AMI. Your containers must also run some configuration code in order to take advantage of the feature. For more information, see Windows IAM Roles for Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
executionRoleArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution role that containers in this task can assume. All containers in this task are granted the permissions that are specified in this role.
networkMode (string) --
The Docker networking mode to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are none , bridge , awsvpc , and host . The default Docker network mode is bridge . If you are using the Fargate launch type, the awsvpc network mode is required. If you are using the EC2 launch type, any network mode can be used. If the network mode is set to none , you cannot specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the tasks containers do not have external connectivity. The host and awsvpc network modes offer the highest networking performance for containers because they use the EC2 network stack instead of the virtualized network stack provided by the bridge mode.
With the host and awsvpc network modes, exposed container ports are mapped directly to the corresponding host port (for the host network mode) or the attached elastic network interface port (for the awsvpc network mode), so you cannot take advantage of dynamic host port mappings.
If the network mode is awsvpc , the task is allocated an elastic network interface, and you must specify a NetworkConfiguration value when you create a service or run a task with the task definition. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
Currently, only Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs, other Amazon Linux variants with the ecs-init package, or AWS Fargate infrastructure support the awsvpc network mode.
If the network mode is host , you cannot run multiple instantiations of the same task on a single container instance when port mappings are used.
Docker for Windows uses different network modes than Docker for Linux. When you register a task definition with Windows containers, you must not specify a network mode. If you use the console to register a task definition with Windows containers, you must choose the <default> network mode object.
For more information, see Network settings in the Docker run reference .
revision (integer) --
The revision of the task in a particular family. The revision is a version number of a task definition in a family. When you register a task definition for the first time, the revision is 1 . Each time that you register a new revision of a task definition in the same family, the revision value always increases by one, even if you have deregistered previous revisions in this family.
volumes (list) --
The list of volume definitions for the task.
If your tasks are using the Fargate launch type, the host and sourcePath parameters are not supported.
For more information about volume definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
(dict) --
A data volume used in a task definition. For tasks that use a Docker volume, specify a DockerVolumeConfiguration . For tasks that use a bind mount host volume, specify a host and optional sourcePath . For more information, see Using Data Volumes in Tasks.
name (string) --
The name of the volume. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and hyphens are allowed. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .
host (dict) --
This parameter is specified when you are using bind mount host volumes. Bind mount host volumes are supported when you are using either the EC2 or Fargate launch types. The contents of the host parameter determine whether your bind mount host volume persists on the host container instance and where it is stored. If the host parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon assigns a host path for your data volume. However, the data is not guaranteed to persist after the containers associated with it stop running.
Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData . Windows containers cannot mount directories on a different drive, and mount point cannot be across drives. For example, you can mount C:\my\path:C:\my\path and D:\:D:\ , but not D:\my\path:C:\my\path or D:\:C:\my\path .
sourcePath (string) --
When the host parameter is used, specify a sourcePath to declare 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. If the host parameter contains a sourcePath file location, then the data volume persists at the specified location on the host container instance until you delete it manually. If the sourcePath value does not exist on the host container instance, the Docker daemon creates it. If the location does exist, the contents of the source path folder are exported.
If you are using the Fargate launch type, the sourcePath parameter is not supported.
dockerVolumeConfiguration (dict) --
This parameter is specified when you are using Docker volumes. Docker volumes are only supported when you are using the EC2 launch type. Windows containers only support the use of the local driver. To use bind mounts, specify a host instead.
scope (string) --
The scope for the Docker volume that determines its lifecycle. Docker volumes that are scoped to a task are automatically provisioned when the task starts and destroyed when the task stops. Docker volumes that are scoped as shared persist after the task stops.
autoprovision (boolean) --
If this value is true , the Docker volume is created if it does not already exist.
Note
This field is only used if the scope is shared .
driver (string) --
The Docker volume driver to use. The driver value must match the driver name provided by Docker because it is used for task placement. If the driver was installed using the Docker plugin CLI, use docker plugin ls to retrieve the driver name from your container instance. If the driver was installed using another method, use Docker plugin discovery to retrieve the driver name. For more information, see Docker plugin discovery. This parameter maps to Driver in the Create a volume section of the Docker Remote API and the xxdriver option to docker volume create.
driverOpts (dict) --
A map of Docker driver-specific options passed through. This parameter maps to DriverOpts in the Create a volume section of the Docker Remote API and the xxopt option to docker volume create.

deviceType (string) --
The Elastic Inference accelerator type to use.
pidMode (string) --
The process namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are host or task . If host is specified, then all containers within the tasks that specified the host PID mode on the same container instance share the same process namespace with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same process namespace. If no value is specified, the default is a private namespace. For more information, see PID settings in the Docker run reference .
If the host PID mode is used, be aware that there is a heightened risk of undesired process namespace expose. For more information, see Docker security.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks using the Fargate launch type.
ipcMode (string) --
The IPC resource namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are host , task , or none . If host is specified, then all containers within the tasks that specified the host IPC mode on the same container instance share the same IPC resources with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same IPC resources. If none is specified, then IPC resources within the containers of a task are private and not shared with other containers in a task or on the container instance. If no value is specified, then the IPC resource namespace sharing depends on the Docker daemon setting on the container instance. For more information, see IPC settings in the Docker run reference .
If the host IPC mode is used, be aware that there is a heightened risk of undesired IPC namespace expose. For more information, see Docker security.
If you are setting namespaced kernel parameters using systemControls for the containers in the task, the following will apply to your IPC resource namespace. For more information, see System Controls in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
For tasks that use the host IPC mode, IPC namespace related systemControls are not supported.
For tasks that use the task IPC mode, IPC namespace related systemControls will apply to all containers within a task.
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks using the Fargate launch type.

For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8
Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8
If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.
Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.
key (string) --
One part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.
value (string) --

Starts a new task using the specified task definition.
You can allow Amazon ECS to place tasks for you, or you can customize how Amazon ECS places tasks using placement constraints and placement strategies. For more information, see Scheduling Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Alternatively, you can use StartTask to use your own scheduler or place tasks manually on specific container instances.
The Amazon ECS API follows an eventual consistency model, due to the distributed nature of the system supporting the API. This means that the result of an API command you run that affects your Amazon ECS resources might not be immediately visible to all subsequent commands you run. Keep this in mind when you carry out an API command that immediately follows a previous API command.
To manage eventual consistency, you can do the following:
Confirm the state of the resource before you run a command to modify it. Run the DescribeTasks command using an exponential backoff algorithm to ensure that you allow enough time for the previous command to propagate through the system. To do this, run the DescribeTasks command repeatedly, starting with a couple of seconds of wait time and increasing gradually up to five minutes of wait time.
Add wait time between subsequent commands, even if the DescribeTasks command returns an accurate response. Apply an exponential backoff algorithm starting with a couple of seconds of wait time, and increase gradually up to about five minutes of wait time.

string
The reference ID to use for the task.
string
An optional tag specified when a task is started. For example, if you automatically trigger a task to run a batch process job, you could apply a unique identifier for that job to your task with the startedBy parameter. You can then identify which tasks belong to that job by filtering the results of a ListTasks call with the startedBy value. Up to 36 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.

Stops a running task. Any tags associated with the task will be deleted.
When StopTask is called on a task, the equivalent of docker stop is issued to the containers running in the task. This results in a SIGTERM value and a default 30-second timeout, after which the SIGKILL value is sent and the containers are forcibly stopped. If the container handles the SIGTERM value gracefully and exits within 30 seconds from receiving it, no SIGKILL value is sent.
Note
The default 30-second timeout can be configured on the Amazon ECS container agent with the ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT variable. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

Modifies the status of an Amazon ECS container instance.
Once a container instance has reached an ACTIVE state, you can change the status of a container instance to DRAINING to manually remove an instance from a cluster, for example to perform system updates, update the Docker daemon, or scale down the cluster size.
Warning
A container instance cannot be changed to DRAINING until it has reached an ACTIVE status. If the instance is in any other status, an error will be received.
When you set a container instance to DRAINING , Amazon ECS prevents new tasks from being scheduled for placement on the container instance and replacement service tasks are started on other container instances in the cluster if the resources are available. Service tasks on the container instance that are in the PENDING state are stopped immediately.
Service tasks on the container instance that are in the RUNNING state are stopped and replaced according to the service's deployment configuration parameters, minimumHealthyPercent and maximumPercent . You can change the deployment configuration of your service using UpdateService.
If minimumHealthyPercent is below 100%, the scheduler can ignore desiredCount temporarily during task replacement. For example, desiredCount is four tasks, a minimum of 50% allows the scheduler to stop two existing tasks before starting two new tasks. If the minimum is 100%, the service scheduler can't remove existing tasks until the replacement tasks are considered healthy. Tasks for services that do not use a load balancer are considered healthy if they are in the RUNNING state. Tasks for services that use a load balancer are considered healthy if they are in the RUNNING state and the container instance they are hosted on is reported as healthy by the load balancer.
The maximumPercent parameter represents an upper limit on the number of running tasks during task replacement, which enables you to define the replacement batch size. For example, if desiredCount is four tasks, a maximum of 200% starts four new tasks before stopping the four tasks to be drained, provided that the cluster resources required to do this are available. If the maximum is 100%, then replacement tasks can't start until the draining tasks have stopped.
Any PENDING or RUNNING tasks that do not belong to a service are not affected. You must wait for them to finish or stop them manually.
A container instance has completed draining when it has no more RUNNING tasks. You can verify this using ListTasks.
When a container instance has been drained, you can set a container instance to ACTIVE status and once it has reached that status the Amazon ECS scheduler can begin scheduling tasks on the instance again.

The list of container instances.
(dict) --
An EC2 instance that is running the Amazon ECS agent and has been registered with a cluster.
containerInstanceArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the container instance. The ARN contains the arn:aws:ecs namespace, followed by the Region of the container instance, the AWS account ID of the container instance owner, the container-instance namespace, and then the container instance ID. For example, arn:aws:ecs:region:aws_account_id:container-instance/container_instance_ID .
ec2InstanceId (string) --
The EC2 instance ID of the container instance.
version (integer) --
The version counter for the container instance. Every time a container instance experiences a change that triggers a CloudWatch event, the version counter is incremented. If you are replicating your Amazon ECS container instance state with CloudWatch Events, you can compare the version of a container instance reported by the Amazon ECS APIs with the version reported in CloudWatch Events for the container instance (inside the detail object) to verify that the version in your event stream is current.
versionInfo (dict) --
The version information for the Amazon ECS container agent and Docker daemon running on the container instance.

dockerVersion (string) --
The Docker version running on the container instance.
remainingResources (list) --
For CPU and memory resource types, this parameter describes the remaining CPU and memory that has not already been allocated to tasks and is therefore available for new tasks. For port resource types, this parameter describes the ports that were reserved by the Amazon ECS container agent (at instance registration time) and any task containers that have reserved port mappings on the host (with the host or bridge network mode). Any port that is not specified here is available for new tasks.
(dict) --
Describes the resources available for a container instance.
name (string) --
The name of the resource, such as CPU , MEMORY , PORTS , PORTS_UDP , or a user-defined resource.
type (string) --
The type of the resource, such as INTEGER , DOUBLE , LONG , or STRINGSET .
doubleValue (float) --
When the doubleValue type is set, the value of the resource must be a double precision floating-point type.
longValue (integer) --
When the longValue type is set, the value of the resource must be an extended precision floating-point type.
integerValue (integer) --
When the integerValue type is set, the value of the resource must be an integer.
stringSetValue (list) --
When the stringSetValue type is set, the value of the resource must be a string type.
(string) --
registeredResources (list) --
For CPU and memory resource types, this parameter describes the amount of each resource that was available on the container instance when the container agent registered it with Amazon ECS. This value represents the total amount of CPU and memory that can be allocated on this container instance to tasks. For port resource types, this parameter describes the ports that were reserved by the Amazon ECS container agent when it registered the container instance with Amazon ECS.

(string) --
status (string) --
The status of the container instance. The valid values are REGISTERING , REGISTRATION_FAILED , ACTIVE , INACTIVE , DEREGISTERING , or DRAINING .
If your account has opted in to the awsvpcTrunking account setting, then any newly registered container instance will transition to a REGISTERING status while the trunk elastic network interface is provisioned for the instance. If the registration fails, the instance will transition to a REGISTRATION_FAILED status. You can describe the container instance and see the reason for failure in the statusReason parameter. Once the container instance is terminated, the instance transitions to a DEREGISTERING status while the trunk elastic network interface is deprovisioned. The instance then transitions to an INACTIVE status.
The ACTIVE status indicates that the container instance can accept tasks. The DRAINING indicates that new tasks are not placed on the container instance and any service tasks running on the container instance are removed if possible. For more information, see Container Instance Draining in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
statusReason (string) --
The reason that the container instance reached its current status.
agentConnected (boolean) --
This parameter returns true if the agent is connected to Amazon ECS. Registered instances with an agent that may be unhealthy or stopped return false . Only instances connected to an agent can accept placement requests.

The number of tasks on the container instance that are in the RUNNING status.
pendingTasksCount (integer) --
The number of tasks on the container instance that are in the PENDING status.
agentUpdateStatus (string) --
The status of the most recent agent update. If an update has never been requested, this value is NULL .
attributes (list) --
The attributes set for the container instance, either by the Amazon ECS container agent at instance registration or manually with the PutAttributes operation.
(dict) --
An attribute is a name-value pair associated with an Amazon ECS object. Attributes enable you to extend the Amazon ECS data model by adding custom metadata to your resources. For more information, see Attributes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
