Amazon EC2 Container Service

2022/11/10 - Amazon EC2 Container Service - 2 new api methods

Changes  This release adds support for task scale-in protection with updateTaskProtection and getTaskProtection APIs. UpdateTaskProtection API can be used to protect a service managed task from being terminated by scale-in events and getTaskProtection API to get the scale-in protection status of a task.

GetTaskProtection (new) Link ¶

Retrieves the protection status of tasks in an Amazon ECS service.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • protectedTasks (list) --

      A list of tasks with the following information.

      • taskArn : The task ARN.

      • protectionEnabled : The protection status of the task. If scale-in protection is enabled for a task, the value is true . Otherwise, it is false .

      • expirationDate : The epoch time when protection for the task will expire.

      • (dict) --

        An object representing the protection status details for a task. You can set the protection status with the UpdateTaskProtection API and get the status of tasks with the GetTaskProtection API.

        • taskArn (string) --

          The task ARN.

        • protectionEnabled (boolean) --

          The protection status of the task. If scale-in protection is enabled for a task, the value is true . Otherwise, it is false .

        • expirationDate (datetime) --

          The epoch time when protection for the task will expire.

    • failures (list) --

      Any failures associated with the call.

      • (dict) --

        A failed resource. For a list of common causes, see API failure reasons in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

        • arn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the failed resource.

        • reason (string) --

          The reason for the failure.

        • detail (string) --

          The details of the failure.

UpdateTaskProtection (new) Link ¶

Updates the protection status of a task. You can set protectionEnabled to true to protect your task from termination during scale-in events from Service Autoscaling or deployments.

Task-protection, by default, expires after 2 hours at which point Amazon ECS unsets the protectionEnabled property making the task eligible for termination by a subsequent scale-in event.

You can specify a custom expiration period for task protection from 1 minute to up to 2,880 minutes (48 hours). To specify the custom expiration period, set the expiresInMinutes property. The expiresInMinutes property is always reset when you invoke this operation for a task that already has protectionEnabled set to true . You can keep extending the protection expiration period of a task by invoking this operation repeatedly.

To learn more about Amazon ECS task protection, see Task scale-in protection in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

Note

This operation is only supported for tasks belonging to an Amazon ECS service. Invoking this operation for a standalone task will result in an TASK_NOT_VALID failure. For more information, see API failure reasons.

Warning

If you prefer to set task protection from within the container, we recommend using the Amazon ECS container agent endpoint.

Request Syntax

client.update_task_protection(
    cluster='string',
    tasks=[
        'string',
    ],
    protectionEnabled=True|False,
    expiresInMinutes=123
)
type cluster

string

param cluster

[REQUIRED]

The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that hosts the service that the task sets exist in.

type tasks

list

param tasks

[REQUIRED]

A list of up to 10 task IDs or full ARN entries.

  • (string) --

type protectionEnabled

boolean

param protectionEnabled

[REQUIRED]

Specify true to mark a task for protection and false to unset protection, making it eligible for termination.

type expiresInMinutes

integer

param expiresInMinutes

If you set protectionEnabled to true , you can specify the duration for task protection in minutes. You can specify a value from 1 minute to up to 2,880 minutes (48 hours). During this time, your task will not be terminated by scale-in events from Service Auto Scaling or deployments. After this time period lapses, protectionEnabled will be reset to false .

If you don’t specify the time, then the task is automatically protected for 120 minutes (2 hours).
