A low-level client representing Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS):
client = session.create_client('ecs')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Creates a new Amazon ECS cluster. By default, your account receives a default cluster when you launch your first container instance. However, you can create your own cluster with a unique name with the CreateCluster action.
Note
When you call the CreateCluster API operation, Amazon ECS attempts to create the service-linked role for your account so that required resources in other AWS services can be managed on your behalf. However, if the IAM user that makes the call does not have permissions to create the service-linked role, it is not created. For more information, see Using Service-Linked Roles for Amazon ECS in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

Response Structure
The full description of your new cluster.
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the cluster. The ARN contains the arn:aws:ecs namespace, followed by the region of the cluster, the AWS account ID of the cluster owner, the cluster namespace, and then the cluster name. For example, ``arn:aws:ecs:region :012345678910 :cluster/test `` ..
A user-generated string that you use to identify your cluster.
The status of the cluster. The valid values are ACTIVE or INACTIVE . ACTIVE indicates that you can register container instances with the cluster and the associated instances can accept tasks.
The number of container instances registered into the cluster.
The number of tasks in the cluster that are in the RUNNING state.
The number of tasks in the cluster that are in the PENDING state.
The number of services that are running on the cluster in an ACTIVE state. You can view these services with ListServices .
Additional information about your clusters that are separated by launch type, including:
A key and value pair object.
The name of the key value pair. For environment variables, this is the name of the environment variable.
The value of the key value pair. For environment variables, this is the value of the environment variable.
Examples
This example creates a cluster in your default region.
response = client.create_cluster(
clusterName='my_cluster',
)
print(response)

Runs and maintains a desired number of tasks from a specified task definition. If the number of tasks running in a service drops below desiredCount , Amazon ECS spawns another copy of the task in the specified cluster. To update an existing service, see UpdateService .
In addition to maintaining the desired count of tasks in your service, you can optionally run your service behind a load balancer. The load balancer distributes traffic across the tasks that are associated with the service. For more information, see Service Load Balancing in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
You can optionally specify a deployment configuration for your service. During a deployment, the service scheduler uses the minimumHealthyPercent and maximumPercent parameters to determine the deployment strategy. The deployment is triggered by changing the task definition or the desired count of a service with an UpdateService operation.
The minimumHealthyPercent represents a lower limit on the number of your service's tasks that must remain in the RUNNING state during a deployment, as a percentage of the desiredCount (rounded up to the nearest integer). This parameter enables you to deploy without using additional cluster capacity. For example, if your service has a desiredCount of four tasks and a minimumHealthyPercent of 50%, the scheduler can 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 the container instance they are hosted on is reported as healthy by the load balancer. The default value for a replica service for minimumHealthyPercent is 50% in the console and 100% for the AWS CLI, the AWS SDKs, and the APIs. The default value for a daemon service for minimumHealthyPercent is 0% for the AWS CLI, the AWS SDKs, and the APIs and 50% for the console.
The maximumPercent parameter represents an upper limit on the number of your service's tasks that are allowed in the RUNNING or PENDING state during a deployment, as a percentage of the desiredCount (rounded down to the nearest integer). This parameter enables you to define the deployment batch size. For example, if your replica service has a desiredCount of four tasks and a maximumPercent value of 200%, the scheduler can 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 a replica service for maximumPercent is 200%. If you are using a daemon service type, the maximumPercent should remain at 100%, which is the default value.
When the service scheduler launches new tasks, it determines task placement in your cluster using the following logic:

[REQUIRED]
The name of your service. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores 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.
[REQUIRED]
The family and revision (family:revision ) or full ARN of the task definition to run in your service. If a revision is not specified, the latest ACTIVE revision is used.
A load balancer object representing the load balancer to use with your service. Currently, you are limited to one load balancer or target group per service. After you create a service, the load balancer name or target group ARN, container name, and container port specified in the service definition are immutable.
For Classic Load Balancers, this object must contain the load balancer name, the container name (as it appears in a container definition), and the container port to access from the load balancer. When a task from this service is placed on a container instance, the container instance is registered with the load balancer specified here.
For Application Load Balancers and Network Load Balancers, this object must contain the load balancer target group ARN, the container name (as it appears in a container definition), and the container port to access from the load balancer. When a task from this service is placed on a container instance, the container instance and port combination is registered as a target in the target group specified here.
Services with tasks that use the awsvpc network mode (for example, those with the Fargate launch type) only support Application Load Balancers and Network Load Balancers; Classic Load Balancers are not supported. Also, when you create any target groups for these services, you must choose ip as the target type, not instance , because tasks that use the awsvpc network mode are associated with an elastic network interface, not an Amazon EC2 instance.
Details on a load balancer that is used with a service.
Services with tasks that use the awsvpc network mode (for example, those with the Fargate launch type) only support Application Load Balancers and Network Load Balancers; Classic Load Balancers are not supported. Also, when you create any target groups for these services, you must choose ip as the target type, not instance , because tasks that use the awsvpc network mode are associated with an elastic network interface, not an Amazon EC2 instance.
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Elastic Load Balancing target group associated with a service.
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 , because tasks that use the awsvpc network mode are associated with an elastic network interface, not an Amazon EC2 instance.
The name of a load balancer.
The name of the container (as it appears in a container definition) to associate with the load balancer.
The port on the container to associate with the load balancer. This port must correspond to a containerPort in the service's task definition. Your container instances must allow ingress traffic on the hostPort of the port mapping.
The details of the service discovery registries you want to assign to this service. For more information, see Service Discovery .
Note
Service discovery is supported for Fargate tasks if using platform version v1.1.0 or later. For more information, see AWS Fargate Platform Versions .
Details of the service registry.
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the service registry. The currently supported service registry is Amazon Route 53 Auto Naming. For more information, see Service .
The port value used if your service discovery service specified an SRV record. This field is required if both the awsvpc network mode and SRV records are used.
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.
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.
The name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that allows Amazon ECS to make calls to your load balancer on your behalf. This parameter is only permitted if you are using a load balancer with your service and your task definition does not use the awsvpc network mode. If you specify the role parameter, you must also specify a load balancer object with the loadBalancers parameter.
Warning
If your account has already created the Amazon ECS service-linked role, that role is used by default for your service unless you specify a role here. The service-linked role is required if your task definition uses the awsvpc network mode, in which case you should not specify a role here. For more information, see Using Service-Linked Roles for Amazon ECS in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
If your specified role has a path other than / , then you must either specify the full role ARN (this is recommended) or prefix the role name with the path. For example, if a role with the name bar has a path of /foo/ then you would specify /foo/bar as the role name. For more information, see Friendly Names and Paths in the IAM User Guide .
Optional deployment parameters that control how many tasks run during the deployment and the ordering of stopping and starting tasks.
The upper limit (as a percentage of the service's desiredCount ) of the number of tasks that are allowed in the RUNNING or PENDING state in a service during a deployment. The maximum number of tasks during a deployment is the desiredCount multiplied by maximumPercent /100, rounded down to the nearest integer value.
The lower limit (as a percentage of the service's desiredCount ) of the number of running tasks that must remain in the RUNNING state in a service during a deployment. The minimum number of healthy tasks during a deployment is the desiredCount multiplied by minimumHealthyPercent /100, rounded up to the nearest integer value.
An array of placement constraint objects to use for tasks in your service. You can specify a maximum of 10 constraints per task (this limit includes constraints in the task definition and those specified at run time).
An object representing a constraint on task placement. For more information, see Task Placement Constraints in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The type of constraint. Use distinctInstance to ensure that each task in a particular group is running on a different container instance. Use memberOf to restrict the selection to a group of valid candidates. The value distinctInstance is not supported in task definitions.
A cluster query language expression to apply to the constraint. Note you cannot specify an expression if the constraint type is distinctInstance . For more information, see Cluster Query Language in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The placement strategy objects to use for tasks in your service. You can specify a maximum of five strategy rules per service.
The task placement strategy for a task or service. For more information, see Task Placement Strategies in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The type of placement strategy. The random placement strategy randomly places tasks on available candidates. The spread placement strategy spreads placement across available candidates evenly based on the field parameter. The binpack strategy places tasks on available candidates that have the least available amount of the resource that is specified with the field parameter. For example, if you binpack on memory, a task is placed on the instance with the least amount of remaining memory (but still enough to run the task).
The field to apply the placement strategy against. For the spread placement strategy, valid values are instanceId (or host , which has the same effect), or any platform or custom attribute that is applied to a container instance, such as attribute:ecs.availability-zone . For the binpack placement strategy, valid values are cpu and memory . For the random placement strategy, this field is not used.
The network configuration for the service. This parameter is required for task definitions that use the awsvpc network mode to receive their own Elastic Network Interface, and it is not supported for other network modes. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The VPC subnets and security groups associated with a task.
The subnets associated with the task or service. There is a limit of 10 subnets able to be specified per AwsVpcConfiguration.
The security groups associated with the task or service. If you do not specify a security group, the default security group for the VPC is used. There is a limit of 5 security groups able to be specified per AwsVpcConfiguration.
Whether the task's elastic network interface receives a public IP address.
The scheduling strategy to use for the service. For more information, see Services .
There are two service scheduler strategies available:
Note
Fargate tasks do not support the DAEMON scheduling strategy.

Deletes a specified service within a cluster. You can delete a service if you have no running tasks in it and the desired task count is zero. If the service is actively maintaining tasks, you cannot delete it, and you must update the service to a desired task count of zero. For more information, see UpdateService .
Note
When you delete a service, if there are still running tasks that require cleanup, the service status moves from ACTIVE to DRAINING , and the service is no longer visible in the console or in ListServices API operations. After the tasks have stopped, then the service status moves from DRAINING to INACTIVE . Services in the DRAINING or INACTIVE status can still be viewed with DescribeServices API operations. However, in the future, INACTIVE services may be cleaned up and purged from Amazon ECS record keeping, and DescribeServices API operations on those services return a ServiceNotFoundException error.

Deregisters an Amazon ECS container instance from the specified cluster. This instance is no longer available to run tasks.
If you intend to use the container instance for some other purpose after deregistration, you should stop all of the tasks running on the container instance before deregistration. That prevents any orphaned tasks from consuming resources.
Deregistering a container instance removes the instance from a cluster, but it does not terminate the EC2 instance; if you are finished using the instance, be sure to terminate it in the Amazon EC2 console to stop billing.
Note
If you terminate a running container instance, Amazon ECS automatically deregisters the instance from your cluster (stopped container instances or instances with disconnected agents are not automatically deregistered when terminated).
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = client.deregister_container_instance(
cluster='string',
containerInstance='string',
force=True|False
)
[REQUIRED]
The container instance ID or full ARN of the container instance to deregister. 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 `` .
Forces the deregistration of the container instance. If you have tasks running on the container instance when you deregister it with the force option, these tasks remain running until you terminate the instance or the tasks stop through some other means, but they are orphaned (no longer monitored or accounted for by Amazon ECS). If an orphaned task on your container instance is part of an Amazon ECS service, then the service scheduler starts another copy of that task, on a different container instance if possible.
Any containers in orphaned service tasks that are registered with a Classic Load Balancer or an Application Load Balancer target group are deregistered. They begin connection draining according to the settings on the load balancer or target group.

Examples
This example deregisters a container instance from the specified cluster in your default region. If there are still tasks running on the container instance, you must either stop those tasks before deregistering, or use the force option.
response = client.deregister_container_instance(
cluster='default',
containerInstance='container_instance_UUID',
force=True,
)
print(response)
Expected Output:
{
'ResponseMetadata': {
'...': '...',
},
}
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 (although 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
The full description of the deregistered task.
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task definition.
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 .
Container definitions are used in task definitions to describe the different containers that are launched as part of a task.
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, hyphens, and underscores 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 .
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 .
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:
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.
The hard limit (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. This parameter maps to Memory in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory option to docker run .
If your containers are part of a task using the Fargate launch type, this field is optional and the only requirement is that the total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task be lower than the task memory value.
For containers that are part of a task using the EC2 launch type, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in container definitions. 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.
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.
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 .
You must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in container definitions. 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.
The link parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings. Only supported if the network mode of a task definition is set to bridge . The name:internalName construct is analogous to name:alias in Docker links. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. For more information about linking Docker containers, go to https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/default_network/dockerlinks/ . This parameter maps to Links in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --link option to ` docker run https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/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.
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, or the networkBindings section DescribeTasks responses.
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 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.
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port.
If using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort .
If 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.
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container.
If 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 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. You should 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 and 51679. 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, and a container instance may have up to 100 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports (automatically assigned ports do not count toward the 100 reserved ports limit).
The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are tcp and udp . The default is tcp .
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 .
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.

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 .
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
A key/value map of labels to add to the container. This parameter maps to Labels in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --label option to docker run .

The log configuration specification for the container.
If using the Fargate launch type, the only supported value is awslogs .
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 | grep "Server API version"
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 .
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. If using the Fargate launch type, the only supported value is awslogs . For more information about using the awslogs 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 | grep "Server API version"
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 | grep "Server API version"
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 .
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 time period in seconds between each health check execution. You may specify between 5 and 300 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.
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 seconds.
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 retries.
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.
The family of your task definition, used as the definition name.
The 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.
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 .
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution role that the Amazon ECS container agent and the Docker daemon can assume.
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 using the Fargate launch type, the awsvpc network mode is required. If using the EC2 launch type, any network mode can be used. If the network mode is set to none , you can't specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the task's 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 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 the Amazon ECS-optimized AMI, 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 can't 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 .
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 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).
The list of volumes in a task.
If you 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 .
A data volume used in a task definition.
The name of the volume. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .
The contents of the host parameter determine whether your data 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, but 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 .
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.
The status of the task definition.
The container instance attributes required by your task. This field is not valid if using the Fargate launch type for your task.
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 .
The name of the attribute. Up to 128 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, and periods are allowed.
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.
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.
The ID of the target. You can specify the short form ID for a resource or the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
An array of placement constraint objects to use for tasks. This field is not valid if using the Fargate launch type for your task.
An object representing a constraint on task placement in the task definition.
If you are using the Fargate launch type, task placement constraints are not supported.
For more information, see Task Placement Constraints in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The type of constraint. The DistinctInstance constraint ensures that each task in a particular group is running on a different container instance. The MemberOf constraint restricts selection to be from a group of valid candidates.
A cluster query language expression to apply to the constraint. For more information, see Cluster Query Language in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The launch type to use with your task. For more information, see Amazon ECS Launch Types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The launch type the task is using.
The number of cpu units used by the task. If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional and any value can be used. If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of valid values for the memory parameter:
The amount (in MiB) of memory used by the task. If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional and any value can be used. If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of valid values for the cpu parameter:

Response Structure
The full task definition description.
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task definition.
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 .
Container definitions are used in task definitions to describe the different containers that are launched as part of a task.
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, hyphens, and underscores 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 .
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 .
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:
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.
The hard limit (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. This parameter maps to Memory in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory option to docker run .
If your containers are part of a task using the Fargate launch type, this field is optional and the only requirement is that the total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task be lower than the task memory value.
For containers that are part of a task using the EC2 launch type, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in container definitions. 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.
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.
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 .
You must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in container definitions. 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.
The link parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings. Only supported if the network mode of a task definition is set to bridge . The name:internalName construct is analogous to name:alias in Docker links. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. For more information about linking Docker containers, go to https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/default_network/dockerlinks/ . This parameter maps to Links in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --link option to ` docker run https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/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.
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, or the networkBindings section DescribeTasks responses.
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 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.
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port.
If using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort .
If 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.
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container.
If 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 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. You should 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 and 51679. 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, and a container instance may have up to 100 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports (automatically assigned ports do not count toward the 100 reserved ports limit).
The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are tcp and udp . The default is tcp .
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 .
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 .
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 .

When this parameter is true, the container is given read-only access to its root file system. This parameter maps to ReadonlyRootfs in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --read-only option to docker run .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
A list of DNS servers that are presented to the container. This parameter maps to Dns in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --dns option to docker run .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
A list of DNS search domains that are presented to the container. This parameter maps to DnsSearch in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --dns-search option to docker run .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
A list of hostnames and IP address mappings to append to the /etc/hosts file on the container. If using the Fargate launch type, this may be used to list non-Fargate hosts you want the container to talk to. This parameter maps to ExtraHosts in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --add-host option to docker run .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
Hostnames and IP address entries that are added to the /etc/hosts file of a container via the extraHosts parameter of its ContainerDefinition .
The hostname to use in the /etc/hosts entry.
The IP address to use in the /etc/hosts entry.
A list of strings to provide custom labels for SELinux and AppArmor multi-level security systems. This field is not valid for containers in tasks using the Fargate launch type.
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 .
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
A key/value map of labels to add to the container. This parameter maps to Labels in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --label option to docker run . 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 | grep "Server API version"
A list of ulimits to set in the container. This parameter maps to Ulimits in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --ulimit option to docker run . Valid naming values are displayed in the Ulimit data type. 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 | grep "Server API version"
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
The ulimit settings to pass to the container.
The type of the ulimit .
The soft limit for the ulimit type.
The hard limit for the ulimit type.
The log configuration specification for the container.
If using the Fargate launch type, the only supported value is awslogs .
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 | grep "Server API version"
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 .
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. If using the Fargate launch type, the only supported value is awslogs . For more information about using the awslogs 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 | grep "Server API version"
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 | grep "Server API version"
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 .
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 time period in seconds between each health check execution. You may specify between 5 and 300 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.
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 seconds.
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 retries.
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.
The family of your task definition, used as the definition name.
The 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.
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 .
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution role that the Amazon ECS container agent and the Docker daemon can assume.
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 using the Fargate launch type, the awsvpc network mode is required. If using the EC2 launch type, any network mode can be used. If the network mode is set to none , you can't specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the task's 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 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 the Amazon ECS-optimized AMI, 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 can't 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 .
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 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).
The list of volumes in a task.
If you 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 .
A data volume used in a task definition.
The name of the volume. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .
The contents of the host parameter determine whether your data 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, but 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 .
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.
The status of the task definition.
The container instance attributes required by your task. This field is not valid if using the Fargate launch type for your task.
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 .
The name of the attribute. Up to 128 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, and periods are allowed.
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.
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.
The ID of the target. You can specify the short form ID for a resource or the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
An array of placement constraint objects to use for tasks. This field is not valid if using the Fargate launch type for your task.
An object representing a constraint on task placement in the task definition.
If you are using the Fargate launch type, task placement constraints are not supported.
For more information, see Task Placement Constraints in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The type of constraint. The DistinctInstance constraint ensures that each task in a particular group is running on a different container instance. The MemberOf constraint restricts selection to be from a group of valid candidates.
A cluster query language expression to apply to the constraint. For more information, see Cluster Query Language in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The launch type to use with your task. For more information, see Amazon ECS Launch Types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The launch type the task is using.
The number of cpu units used by the task. If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional and any value can be used. If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of valid values for the memory parameter:
The amount (in MiB) of memory used by the task. If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional and any value can be used. If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of valid values for the cpu parameter:

The task desired status with which to filter the ListTasks results. Specifying a desiredStatus of STOPPED limits the results to tasks that Amazon ECS has set the desired status to STOPPED , which can be useful for debugging tasks that are not starting properly or have died or finished. The default status filter is RUNNING , which shows tasks that Amazon ECS has set the desired status to RUNNING .
Note
Although you can filter results based on a desired status of PENDING , this does not return any results because Amazon ECS never sets the desired status of a task to that value (only a task's lastStatus may have a value of PENDING ).

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 .

[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, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.
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 using the Fargate launch type, the awsvpc network mode is required. If using the EC2 launch type, any network mode can be used. If the network mode is set to none , you can't specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the task's 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 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 .
If the network mode is host , you can't 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.
For more information, see Network settings in the Docker run reference .
[REQUIRED]
A list of container definitions in JSON format that describe the different containers that make up your task.
Container definitions are used in task definitions to describe the different containers that are launched as part of a task.
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, hyphens, and underscores 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 .
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 .
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:
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.
The hard limit (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. This parameter maps to Memory in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory option to docker run .
If your containers are part of a task using the Fargate launch type, this field is optional and the only requirement is that the total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task be lower than the task memory value.
For containers that are part of a task using the EC2 launch type, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in container definitions. 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.
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.
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 .
You must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in container definitions. 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.
The link parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings. Only supported if the network mode of a task definition is set to bridge . The name:internalName construct is analogous to name:alias in Docker links. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. For more information about linking Docker containers, go to https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/default_network/dockerlinks/ . This parameter maps to Links in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --link option to ` docker run https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/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.
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, or the networkBindings section DescribeTasks responses.
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 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.
The port number on the container that is bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port.
If using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort .
If 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.
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container.
If 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 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. You should 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 and 51679. 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, and a container instance may have up to 100 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports (automatically assigned ports do not count toward the 100 reserved ports limit).
The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are tcp and udp . The default is tcp .
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 .
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.

When this parameter is true, networking is disabled within the container. This parameter maps to NetworkDisabled in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API .
Note
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
When this parameter is true, the container is given elevated privileges on the host container instance (similar to the root user). This parameter maps to Privileged in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --privileged option to docker run .
Note

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 .
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
A key/value map of labels to add to the container. This parameter maps to Labels in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --label option to docker run .

The log configuration specification for the container.
If using the Fargate launch type, the only supported value is awslogs .
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 | grep "Server API version"
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 .
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. If using the Fargate launch type, the only supported value is awslogs . For more information about using the awslogs 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 | grep "Server API version"
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 | grep "Server API version"
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 .
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 time period in seconds between each health check execution. You may specify between 5 and 300 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.
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 seconds.
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 retries.
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.
A list of volume definitions in JSON format that containers in your task may use.
A data volume used in a task definition.
The name of the volume. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .
The contents of the host parameter determine whether your data 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, but 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 .
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.
An array of placement constraint objects to use for the task. You can specify a maximum of 10 constraints per task (this limit includes constraints in the task definition and those specified at run time).
An object representing a constraint on task placement in the task definition.
If you are using the Fargate launch type, task placement constraints are not supported.
For more information, see Task Placement Constraints in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The type of constraint. The DistinctInstance constraint ensures that each task in a particular group is running on a different container instance. The MemberOf constraint restricts selection to be from a group of valid candidates.
A cluster query language expression to apply to the constraint. For more information, see Cluster Query Language in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The launch type required by the task. If no value is specified, it defaults to EC2 .
The number of CPU units used by the task. It can be expressed as an integer using CPU units, for example 1024 , or as a string using vCPUs, for example 1 vCPU or 1 vcpu , in a task definition but will be converted to an integer indicating the CPU units when the task definition is registered.
Note
Task-level CPU and memory parameters are ignored for Windows containers. We recommend specifying container-level resources for Windows containers.
If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional. Supported values are between 128 CPU units (0.125 vCPUs) and 10240 CPU units (10 vCPUs).
If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of supported values for the memory parameter:
The amount of memory (in MiB) used by the task. It can be expressed as an integer using MiB, for example 1024 , or as a string using GB, for example 1GB or 1 GB , in a task definition but will be converted to an integer indicating the MiB when the task definition is registered.
Note
Task-level CPU and memory parameters are ignored for Windows containers. We recommend specifying container-level resources for Windows containers.
If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional.
If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of supported values for the cpu parameter:

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, hyphens, and underscores 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 .
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:
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 hard limit (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. This parameter maps to Memory in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --memory option to docker run .
If your containers are part of a task using the Fargate launch type, this field is optional and the only requirement is that the total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task be lower than the task memory value.
For containers that are part of a task using the EC2 launch type, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in container definitions. 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.
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 .
You must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory or memoryReservation in container definitions. 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 link parameter allows containers to communicate with each other without the need for port mappings. Only supported if the network mode of a task definition is set to bridge . The name:internalName construct is analogous to name:alias in Docker links. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. For more information about linking Docker containers, go to https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/default_network/dockerlinks/ . This parameter maps to Links in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --link option to ` docker run https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/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.
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, or 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 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 using containers in a task with the awsvpc or host network mode, exposed ports should be specified using containerPort .
If 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.
hostPort (integer) --
The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container.
If 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 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. You should 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 and 51679. 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, and a container instance may have up to 100 reserved ports at a time, including the default reserved ports (automatically assigned ports do not 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 .
command (list) --

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 .
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
dockerLabels (dict) --
A key/value map of labels to add to the container. This parameter maps to Labels in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --label option to docker run .

If using the Fargate launch type, the only supported value is awslogs .
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 | grep "Server API version"
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. If using the Fargate launch type, the only supported value is awslogs . For more information about using the awslogs 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 | grep "Server API version"
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 | grep "Server API version"
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 .
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 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 retries.
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.
family (string) --
The family of your task definition, used as the definition name.
taskRoleArn (string) --
The 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.
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 the Amazon ECS container agent and the Docker daemon can assume.
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 using the Fargate launch type, the awsvpc network mode is required. If using the EC2 launch type, any network mode can be used. If the network mode is set to none , you can't specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the task's 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 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 the Amazon ECS-optimized AMI, 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 can't 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 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 volumes in a task.
If you 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.
name (string) --
The name of the volume. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .
host (dict) --
The contents of the host parameter determine whether your data 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, but 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) --
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.
status (string) --
The status of the task definition.
requiresAttributes (list) --
The container instance attributes required by your task. This field is not valid if using the Fargate launch type for your task.
(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 using the Fargate launch type for your task.
(dict) --
An object representing a constraint on task placement in the task definition.
If you are using the Fargate launch type, task placement constraints are not supported.
For more information, see Task Placement Constraints in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
type (string) --
The type of constraint. The DistinctInstance constraint ensures that each task in a particular group is running on a different container instance. The MemberOf constraint restricts selection to be from a group of valid candidates.
expression (string) --
A cluster query language expression to apply to the constraint. For more information, see Cluster Query Language in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
compatibilities (list) --
The launch type to use with your task. For more information, see Amazon ECS Launch Types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
requiresCompatibilities (list) --
The launch type the task is using.
cpu (string) --
The number of cpu units used by the task. If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional and any value can be used. If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of valid values for the memory parameter:
memory (string) --
The amount (in MiB) of memory used by the task. If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional and any value can be used. If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of valid values for the cpu parameter:

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. You should 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:

[REQUIRED]
The family and revision (family:revision ) or full ARN of the task definition to run. If a revision is not specified, the latest ACTIVE revision is used.
A list of container overrides in JSON format that specify the name of a container in the specified task definition and the overrides it should receive. You can override the default command for a container (that is specified in the task definition or Docker image) with a command override. You can also override existing environment variables (that are specified in the task definition or Docker image) on a container or add new environment variables to it with an environment override.
Note
A total of 8192 characters are allowed for overrides. This limit includes the JSON formatting characters of the override structure.
One or more container overrides sent to a task.
The overrides that should be sent to a container.
The name of the container that receives the override. This parameter is required if any override is specified.
The command to send to the container that overrides the default command from the Docker image or the task definition. You must also specify a container name.
The environment variables to send to the container. You can add new environment variables, which are added to the container at launch, or you can override the existing environment variables from the Docker image or the task definition. You must also specify a container name.
A key and value pair object.
The name of the key value pair. For environment variables, this is the name of the environment variable.
The value of the key value pair. For environment variables, this is the value of the environment variable.
The number of cpu units reserved for the container, instead of the default value from the task definition. You must also specify a container name.
The hard limit (in MiB) of memory to present to the container, instead of the default value from the task definition. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. You must also specify a container name.
The soft limit (in MiB) of memory to reserve for the container, instead of the default value from the task definition. You must also specify a container name.
The 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.
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution role that the Amazon ECS container agent and the Docker daemon can assume.
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.
If a task is started by an Amazon ECS service, then the startedBy parameter contains the deployment ID of the service that starts it.
An array of placement constraint objects to use for the task. You can specify up to 10 constraints per task (including constraints in the task definition and those specified at run time).
An object representing a constraint on task placement. For more information, see Task Placement Constraints in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The type of constraint. Use distinctInstance to ensure that each task in a particular group is running on a different container instance. Use memberOf to restrict the selection to a group of valid candidates. The value distinctInstance is not supported in task definitions.
A cluster query language expression to apply to the constraint. Note you cannot specify an expression if the constraint type is distinctInstance . For more information, see Cluster Query Language in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The placement strategy objects to use for the task. You can specify a maximum of five strategy rules per task.
The task placement strategy for a task or service. For more information, see Task Placement Strategies in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The type of placement strategy. The random placement strategy randomly places tasks on available candidates. The spread placement strategy spreads placement across available candidates evenly based on the field parameter. The binpack strategy places tasks on available candidates that have the least available amount of the resource that is specified with the field parameter. For example, if you binpack on memory, a task is placed on the instance with the least amount of remaining memory (but still enough to run the task).
The field to apply the placement strategy against. For the spread placement strategy, valid values are instanceId (or host , which has the same effect), or any platform or custom attribute that is applied to a container instance, such as attribute:ecs.availability-zone . For the binpack placement strategy, valid values are cpu and memory . For the random placement strategy, this field is not used.
The network configuration for the task. This parameter is required for task definitions that use the awsvpc network mode to receive their own Elastic Network Interface, and it is not supported for other network modes. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
The VPC subnets and security groups associated with a task.
The subnets associated with the task or service. There is a limit of 10 subnets able to be specified per AwsVpcConfiguration.
The security groups associated with the task or service. If you do not specify a security group, the default security group for the VPC is used. There is a limit of 5 security groups able to be specified per AwsVpcConfiguration.
Whether the task's elastic network interface receives a public IP address.

Stops a running task.
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 and a default 30-second timeout, after which SIGKILL is sent and the containers are forcibly stopped. If the container handles the SIGTERM gracefully and exits within 30 seconds from receiving it, no SIGKILL 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 .

Updates the Amazon ECS container agent on a specified container instance. Updating the Amazon ECS container agent does not interrupt running tasks or services on the container instance. The process for updating the agent differs depending on whether your container instance was launched with the Amazon ECS-optimized AMI or another operating system.
UpdateContainerAgent requires the Amazon ECS-optimized AMI or Amazon Linux with the ecs-init service installed and running. For help updating the Amazon ECS container agent on other operating systems, see Manually Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

Modifies the status of an Amazon ECS container instance.
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.
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 .
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 you set a container instance to ACTIVE , the Amazon ECS scheduler can begin scheduling tasks on the instance again.

Modifies the desired count, deployment configuration, network configuration, or task definition used in a service.
You can add to or subtract from the number of instantiations of a task definition in a service by specifying the cluster that the service is running in and a new desiredCount parameter.
If you have updated the Docker image of your application, you can create a new task definition with that image and deploy it to your service. The service scheduler uses the minimum healthy percent and maximum percent parameters (in the service's deployment configuration) to determine the deployment strategy.
Note
If your updated Docker image uses the same tag as what is in the existing task definition for your service (for example, my_image:latest ), you do not need to create a new revision of your task definition. You can update the service using the forceNewDeployment option. The new tasks launched by the deployment pull the current image/tag combination from your repository when they start.
You can also update the deployment configuration of a service. When a deployment is triggered by updating the task definition of a service, the service scheduler uses the deployment configuration parameters, minimumHealthyPercent and maximumPercent , to determine the deployment strategy.
When UpdateService stops a task during a deployment, the equivalent of docker stop is issued to the containers running in the task. This results in a SIGTERM and a 30-second timeout, after which SIGKILL is sent and the containers are forcibly stopped. If the container handles the SIGTERM gracefully and exits within 30 seconds from receiving it, no SIGKILL is sent.
When the service scheduler launches new tasks, it determines task placement in your cluster with the following logic:
When the service scheduler stops running tasks, it attempts to maintain balance across the Availability Zones in your cluster using the following logic:

Optional deployment parameters that control how many tasks run during the deployment and the ordering of stopping and starting tasks.
The upper limit (as a percentage of the service's desiredCount ) of the number of tasks that are allowed in the RUNNING or PENDING state in a service during a deployment. The maximum number of tasks during a deployment is the desiredCount multiplied by maximumPercent /100, rounded down to the nearest integer value.
The lower limit (as a percentage of the service's desiredCount ) of the number of running tasks that must remain in the RUNNING state in a service during a deployment. The minimum number of healthy tasks during a deployment is the desiredCount multiplied by minimumHealthyPercent /100, rounded up to the nearest integer value.
The network configuration for the service. This parameter is required for task definitions that use the awsvpc network mode to receive their own elastic network interface, and it is not supported for other network modes. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
Note
Updating a service to add a subnet to a list of existing subnets does not trigger a service deployment. For example, if your network configuration change is to keep the existing subnets and simply add another subnet to the network configuration, this does not trigger a new service deployment.
The VPC subnets and security groups associated with a task.
The subnets associated with the task or service. There is a limit of 10 subnets able to be specified per AwsVpcConfiguration.
The security groups associated with the task or service. If you do not specify a security group, the default security group for the VPC is used. There is a limit of 5 security groups able to be specified per AwsVpcConfiguration.
Whether the task's elastic network interface receives a public IP address.

message (string) --
The event message.
createdAt (datetime) --
The Unix time stamp for when the service was created.
placementConstraints (list) --
The placement constraints for the tasks in the service.
(dict) --
An object representing a constraint on task placement. For more information, see Task Placement Constraints in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
type (string) --
The type of constraint. Use distinctInstance to ensure that each task in a particular group is running on a different container instance. Use memberOf to restrict the selection to a group of valid candidates. The value distinctInstance is not supported in task definitions.
expression (string) --
A cluster query language expression to apply to the constraint. Note you cannot specify an expression if the constraint type is distinctInstance . For more information, see Cluster Query Language in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
placementStrategy (list) --
The placement strategy that determines how tasks for the service are placed.
(dict) --
The task placement strategy for a task or service. For more information, see Task Placement Strategies in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
type (string) --
The type of placement strategy. The random placement strategy randomly places tasks on available candidates. The spread placement strategy spreads placement across available candidates evenly based on the field parameter. The binpack strategy places tasks on available candidates that have the least available amount of the resource that is specified with the field parameter. For example, if you binpack on memory, a task is placed on the instance with the least amount of remaining memory (but still enough to run the task).
field (string) --
The field to apply the placement strategy against. For the spread placement strategy, valid values are instanceId (or host , which has the same effect), or any platform or custom attribute that is applied to a container instance, such as attribute:ecs.availability-zone . For the binpack placement strategy, valid values are cpu and memory . For the random placement strategy, this field is not used.
networkConfiguration (dict) --
The VPC subnet and security group configuration for tasks that receive their own Elastic Network Interface by using the awsvpc networking mode.
awsvpcConfiguration (dict) --
The VPC subnets and security groups associated with a task.
subnets (list) --
The subnets associated with the task or service. There is a limit of 10 subnets able to be specified per AwsVpcConfiguration.
securityGroups (list) --
The security groups associated with the task or service. If you do not specify a security group, the default security group for the VPC is used. There is a limit of 5 security groups able to be specified per AwsVpcConfiguration.
assignPublicIp (string) --
Whether the task's elastic network interface receives a public IP address.
healthCheckGracePeriodSeconds (integer) --
The period of time, in seconds, that the Amazon ECS service scheduler ignores unhealthy Elastic Load Balancing target health checks after a task has first started.
schedulingStrategy (string) --
The scheduling strategy to use for the service. For more information, see Services .
There are two service scheduler strategies available:
Note
Fargate tasks do not support the DAEMON scheduling strategy.
Examples
This example updates the my-http-service service to use the amazon-ecs-sample task definition.
response = client.update_service(
service='my-http-service',
taskDefinition='amazon-ecs-sample',
)
print(response)
Expected Output:
{
'ResponseMetadata': {
'...': '...',
},
}
This example updates the desired count of the my-http-service service to 10.
response = client.update_service(
desiredCount=10,
service='my-http-service',
)
print(response)
Expected Output:
{
'ResponseMetadata': {
'...': '...',
},
}

The task desired status with which to filter the ListTasks results. Specifying a desiredStatus of STOPPED limits the results to tasks that Amazon ECS has set the desired status to STOPPED , which can be useful for debugging tasks that are not starting properly or have died or finished. The default status filter is RUNNING , which shows tasks that Amazon ECS has set the desired status to RUNNING .
Note
Although you can filter results based on a desired status of PENDING , this does not return any results because Amazon ECS never sets the desired status of a task to that value (only a task's lastStatus may have a value of PENDING ).
