Creates a new capacity provider.

Capacity providers are associated with an Amazon ECS cluster and are used in capacity provider strategies to facilitate cluster auto scaling.

Only capacity providers that use an Auto Scaling group can be created. Amazon ECS tasks on Fargate use the FARGATE and FARGATE_SPOT capacity providers. These providers are available to all accounts in the Amazon Web Services Regions that Fargate supports.

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.

When you call the CreateCluster API operation, Amazon ECS attempts to create the Amazon ECS service-linked role for your account. This is so that it can manage required resources in other Amazon Web Services services on your behalf. However, if the user that makes the call doesn't have permissions to create the service-linked role, it isn't created. For more information, see Using service-linked roles for Amazon ECS in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Runs and maintains your desired number of tasks from a specified task definition.

If the number of tasks running in a service drops below the desiredCount, Amazon ECS runs another copy of the task in the specified cluster. To update an existing service, use UpdateService. On March 21, 2024, a change was made to resolve the task definition revision before authorization. When a task definition revision is not specified, authorization will occur using the latest revision of a task definition.

Amazon Elastic Inference (EI) is no longer available to customers.

In addition to maintaining the desired count of tasks in your service, you can optionally run your service behind one or more load balancers. The load balancers distribute 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 attach Amazon EBS volumes to Amazon ECS tasks by configuring the volume when creating or updating a service. volumeConfigurations is only supported for REPLICA service and not DAEMON service. For more information, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Tasks for services that don't use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state. Tasks for services that use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state and are reported as healthy by the load balancer.

There are two service scheduler strategies available:

*

REPLICA - The replica scheduling strategy places and maintains your desired number of tasks across your cluster. By default, the service scheduler spreads tasks across Availability Zones. You can use task placement strategies and constraints to customize task placement decisions. For more information, see Service scheduler concepts in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

*

DAEMON - The daemon scheduling strategy deploys exactly one task on each active container instance that meets all of the task placement constraints that you specify in your cluster. The service scheduler also evaluates the task placement constraints for running tasks. It also stops tasks that don't meet the placement constraints. When using this strategy, you don't need to specify a desired number of tasks, a task placement strategy, or use Service Auto Scaling policies. For more information, see Amazon ECS services in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

The deployment controller is the mechanism that determines how tasks are deployed for your service. The valid options are:

* ECS

When you create a service which uses the ECS deployment controller, you can choose between the following deployment strategies (which you can set in the “strategy” field in “deploymentConfiguration”): :

*

ROLLING: When you create a service which uses the rolling update (ROLLING) deployment strategy, the Amazon ECS service scheduler replaces the currently running tasks with new tasks. The number of tasks that Amazon ECS adds or removes from the service during a rolling update is controlled by the service deployment configuration. For more information, see Deploy Amazon ECS services by replacing tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Rolling update deployments are best suited for the following scenarios:

  *

Gradual service updates: You need to update your service incrementally without taking the entire service offline at once.

  *

Limited resource requirements: You want to avoid the additional resource costs of running two complete environments simultaneously (as required by blue/green deployments).

  *

Acceptable deployment time: Your application can tolerate a longer deployment process, as rolling updates replace tasks one by one.

  *

No need for instant roll back: Your service can tolerate a rollback process that takes minutes rather than seconds.

  *

Simple deployment process: You prefer a straightforward deployment approach without the complexity of managing multiple environments, target groups, and listeners.

  *

No load balancer requirement: Your service doesn't use or require a load balancer, Application Load Balancer, Network Load Balancer, or Service Connect (which are required for blue/green deployments).

  *

Stateful applications: Your application maintains state that makes it difficult to run two parallel environments.

  *

Cost sensitivity: You want to minimize deployment costs by not running duplicate environments during deployment.

Rolling updates are the default deployment strategy for services and provide a balance between deployment safety and resource efficiency for many common application scenarios.

*

BLUE_GREEN: A blue/green deployment strategy (BLUE_GREEN) is a release methodology that reduces downtime and risk by running two identical production environments called blue and green. With Amazon ECS blue/green deployments, you can validate new service revisions before directing production traffic to them. This approach provides a safer way to deploy changes with the ability to quickly roll back if needed. For more information, see Amazon ECS blue/green deployments in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Amazon ECS blue/green deployments are best suited for the following scenarios:

  *

Service validation: When you need to validate new service revisions before directing production traffic to them

  *

Zero downtime: When your service requires zero-downtime deployments

  *

Instant roll back: When you need the ability to quickly roll back if issues are detected

  *

Load balancer requirement: When your service uses Application Load Balancer, Network Load Balancer, or Service Connect

* External

Use a third-party deployment controller.

* Blue/green deployment (powered by CodeDeploy)

CodeDeploy installs an updated version of the application as a new replacement task set and reroutes production traffic from the original application task set to the replacement task set. The original task set is terminated after a successful deployment. Use this deployment controller to verify a new deployment of a service before sending production traffic to it.

When creating a service that uses the EXTERNAL deployment controller, you can specify only parameters that aren't controlled at the task set level. The only required parameter is the service name. You control your services using the CreateTaskSet. For more information, see Amazon ECS deployment types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

When the service scheduler launches new tasks, it determines task placement. For information about task placement and task placement strategies, see Amazon ECS task placement in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide

Create a task set in the specified cluster and service.

This is used when a service uses the EXTERNAL deployment controller type. For more information, see Amazon ECS deployment types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

On March 21, 2024, a change was made to resolve the task definition revision before authorization. When a task definition revision is not specified, authorization will occur using the latest revision of a task definition.

For information about the maximum number of task sets and other quotas, see Amazon ECS service quotas in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Disables an account setting for a specified user, role, or the root user for an account.

Deletes one or more custom attributes from an Amazon ECS resource.

Deletes the specified capacity provider.

The FARGATE and FARGATE_SPOT capacity providers are reserved and can't be deleted. You can disassociate them from a cluster using either PutClusterCapacityProviders or by deleting the cluster.

Prior to a capacity provider being deleted, the capacity provider must be removed from the capacity provider strategy from all services. The UpdateService API can be used to remove a capacity provider from a service's capacity provider strategy. When updating a service, the forceNewDeployment option can be used to ensure that any tasks using the Amazon EC2 instance capacity provided by the capacity provider are transitioned to use the capacity from the remaining capacity providers. Only capacity providers that aren't associated with a cluster can be deleted. To remove a capacity provider from a cluster, you can either use PutClusterCapacityProviders or delete the cluster.

Deletes the specified cluster.

The cluster transitions to the INACTIVE state. Clusters with an INACTIVE status might remain discoverable in your account for a period of time. However, this behavior is subject to change in the future. We don't recommend that you rely on INACTIVE clusters persisting.

You must deregister all container instances from this cluster before you may delete it. You can list the container instances in a cluster with ListContainerInstances and deregister them with DeregisterContainerInstance.

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 can't delete it, and you must update the service to a desired task count of zero. For more information, see UpdateService. 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 the ListServices API operation. After all tasks have transitioned to either STOPPING or STOPPED status, the service status moves from DRAINING to INACTIVE. Services in the DRAINING or INACTIVE status can still be viewed with the DescribeServices API operation. However, in the future, INACTIVE services may be cleaned up and purged from Amazon ECS record keeping, and DescribeServices calls on those services return a ServiceNotFoundException error.

If you attempt to create a new service with the same name as an existing service in either ACTIVE or DRAINING status, you receive an error.

Deletes one or more task definitions.

You must deregister a task definition revision before you delete it. For more information, see DeregisterTaskDefinition.

When you delete a task definition revision, it is immediately transitions from the INACTIVE to DELETE_IN_PROGRESS. Existing tasks and services that reference a DELETE_IN_PROGRESS task definition revision continue to run without disruption. Existing services that reference a DELETE_IN_PROGRESS task definition revision can still scale up or down by modifying the service's desired count.

You can't use a DELETE_IN_PROGRESS task definition revision to run new tasks or create new services. You also can't update an existing service to reference a DELETE_IN_PROGRESS task definition revision.

A task definition revision will stay in DELETE_IN_PROGRESS status until all the associated tasks and services have been terminated.

When you delete all INACTIVE task definition revisions, the task definition name is not displayed in the console and not returned in the API. If a task definition revisions are in the DELETE_IN_PROGRESS state, the task definition name is displayed in the console and returned in the API. The task definition name is retained by Amazon ECS and the revision is incremented the next time you create a task definition with that name.

Deletes a specified task set within a service.

This is used when a service uses the EXTERNAL deployment controller type. For more information, see Amazon ECS deployment types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

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, we recommend that you 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 doesn't terminate the EC2 instance. If you are finished using the instance, be sure to terminate it in the Amazon EC2 console to stop billing.

If you terminate a running container instance, Amazon ECS automatically deregisters the instance from your cluster (stopped container instances or instances with disconnected agents aren't automatically deregistered when terminated).

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. If you want to delete a task definition revision, you must first deregister the task definition revision.

You can't use an INACTIVE task definition to run new tasks or create new services, and you can't update an existing service to reference an INACTIVE task definition. However, there may be up to a 10-minute window following deregistration where these restrictions have not yet taken effect.

At this time, INACTIVE task definitions remain discoverable in your account indefinitely. However, this behavior is subject to change in the future. We don't recommend that you rely on INACTIVE task definitions persisting beyond the lifecycle of any associated tasks and services.

You must deregister a task definition revision before you delete it. For more information, see DeleteTaskDefinitions.

Returns metadata about each container instance requested.

Describes one or more of your service deployments.

A service deployment happens when you release a software update for the service. For more information, see View service history using Amazon ECS service deployments.

Describes one or more service revisions.

A service revision is a version of the service that includes the values for the Amazon ECS resources (for example, task definition) and the environment resources (for example, load balancers, subnets, and security groups). For more information, see Amazon ECS service revisions.

You can't describe a service revision that was created before October 25, 2024.

Describes the specified services running in your cluster.

This is used when a service uses the EXTERNAL deployment controller type. For more information, see Amazon ECS Deployment Types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Describes a specified task or tasks.

Currently, stopped tasks appear in the returned results for at least one hour.

If you have tasks with tags, and then delete the cluster, the tagged tasks are returned in the response. If you create a new cluster with the same name as the deleted cluster, the tagged tasks are not included in the response.

This action is only used by the Amazon ECS agent, and it is not intended for use outside of the agent.

Returns an endpoint for the Amazon ECS agent to poll for updates.

Runs a command remotely on a container within a task.

If you use a condition key in your IAM policy to refine the conditions for the policy statement, for example limit the actions to a specific cluster, you receive an AccessDeniedException when there is a mismatch between the condition key value and the corresponding parameter value.

For information about required permissions and considerations, see Using Amazon ECS Exec for debugging in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.

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

Lists the account settings for a specified principal.

Lists the attributes for Amazon ECS resources within a specified target type and cluster.

When you specify a target type and cluster, ListAttributes returns a list of attribute objects, one for each attribute on each resource. You can filter the list of results to a single attribute name to only return results that have that name. You can also filter the results by attribute name and value. You can do this, for example, to see which container instances in a cluster are running a Linux AMI (ecs.os-type=linux).

Returns a list of existing clusters.

Returns a list of container instances in a specified cluster.

You can filter the results of a ListContainerInstances operation with cluster query language statements inside the filter parameter. For more information, see Cluster Query Language in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

This operation lists all the service deployments that meet the specified filter criteria.

A service deployment happens when you release a software update for the service. You route traffic from the running service revisions to the new service revison and control the number of running tasks.

This API returns the values that you use for the request parameters in DescribeServiceRevisions.

Returns a list of services.

You can filter the results by cluster, launch type, and scheduling strategy.

This operation lists all of the services that are associated with a Cloud Map namespace.

This list might include services in different clusters. In contrast, ListServices can only list services in one cluster at a time. If you need to filter the list of services in a single cluster by various parameters, use ListServices. For more information, see Service Connect in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

List the tags for an Amazon ECS resource.

Returns a list of task definition families that are registered to your account.

This list includes task definition families that no longer have any ACTIVE task definition revisions.

You can filter out task definition families that don't contain any ACTIVE task definition revisions by setting the status parameter to ACTIVE. You can also filter the results with the familyPrefix parameter.

Returns a list of task definitions that are registered to your account.

You can filter the results by family name with the familyPrefix parameter or by status with the status parameter.

Returns a list of tasks.

You can filter the results by cluster, task definition family, container instance, launch type, what IAM principal started the task, or by the desired status of the task.

Recently stopped tasks might appear in the returned results.

Modifies an account setting.

Account settings are set on a per-Region basis.

If you change the root user account setting, the default settings are reset for users and roles that do not have specified individual account settings. For more information, see Account Settings in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Modifies an account setting for all users on an account for whom no individual account setting has been specified.

Account settings are set on a per-Region basis.

Create or update an attribute on an Amazon ECS resource.

If the attribute doesn't exist, it's created. If the attribute exists, its value is replaced with the specified value. To delete an attribute, use DeleteAttributes. For more information, see Attributes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Modifies the available capacity providers and the default capacity provider strategy for a cluster.

You must specify both the available capacity providers and a default capacity provider strategy for the cluster. If the specified cluster has existing capacity providers associated with it, you must specify all existing capacity providers in addition to any new ones you want to add. Any existing capacity providers that are associated with a cluster that are omitted from a PutClusterCapacityProviders API call will be disassociated with the cluster. You can only disassociate an existing capacity provider from a cluster if it's not being used by any existing tasks.

When creating a service or running a task on a cluster, if no capacity provider or launch type is specified, then the cluster's default capacity provider strategy is used. We recommend that you define a default capacity provider strategy for your cluster. However, you must specify an empty array ([]) to bypass defining a default strategy.

This action is only used by the Amazon ECS agent, and it is not intended for use outside of the agent.

Registers an EC2 instance into the specified cluster. This instance becomes available to place containers on.

Registers a new task definition from the supplied family and containerDefinitions.

Optionally, you can add data volumes to your containers with the volumes parameter. For more information about task definition parameters and defaults, see Amazon ECS Task Definitions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

You can specify a role for your task with the taskRoleArn parameter. When you specify a role for a task, its containers can then use the latest versions of the CLI or SDKs to make API requests to the Amazon Web Services services that are specified in the policy that's 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. 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.

Starts a new task using the specified task definition.

On March 21, 2024, a change was made to resolve the task definition revision before authorization. When a task definition revision is not specified, authorization will occur using the latest revision of a task definition.

Amazon Elastic Inference (EI) is no longer available to customers.

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.

You can attach Amazon EBS volumes to Amazon ECS tasks by configuring the volume when creating or updating a service. For more information, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

The Amazon ECS API follows an eventual consistency model. This is because of the distributed nature of the system supporting the API. This means that the result of an API command you run that affects your Amazon ECS resources might not be immediately visible to all subsequent commands you run. Keep this in mind when you carry out an API command that immediately follows a previous API command.

To manage eventual consistency, you can do the following:

* Confirm the state of the resource before you run a command to modify it. Run the DescribeTasks command using an exponential backoff algorithm to ensure that you allow enough time for the previous command to propagate through the system. To do this, run the DescribeTasks command repeatedly, starting with a couple of seconds of wait time and increasing gradually up to five minutes of wait time.

* Add wait time between subsequent commands, even if the DescribeTasks command returns an accurate response. Apply an exponential backoff algorithm starting with a couple of seconds of wait time, and increase gradually up to about five minutes of wait time.

If you get a ConflictException error, the RunTask request could not be processed due to conflicts. The provided clientToken is already in use with a different RunTask request. The resourceIds are the existing task ARNs which are already associated with the clientToken.

To fix this issue:

* Run RunTask with a unique clientToken.

* Run RunTask with the clientToken and the original set of parameters

If you get a ClientExceptionerror, the RunTask could not be processed because you use managed scaling and there is a capacity error because the quota of tasks in the PROVISIONING per cluster has been reached. For information about the service quotas, see Amazon ECS service quotas.

Starts a new task from the specified task definition on the specified container instance or instances.

On March 21, 2024, a change was made to resolve the task definition revision before authorization. When a task definition revision is not specified, authorization will occur using the latest revision of a task definition.

Amazon Elastic Inference (EI) is no longer available to customers.

Alternatively, you can useRunTask to place tasks for you. For more information, see Scheduling Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

You can attach Amazon EBS volumes to Amazon ECS tasks by configuring the volume when creating or updating a service. For more information, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Stops an ongoing service deployment.

The following stop types are avaiable:

* ROLLBACK - This option rolls back the service deployment to the previous service revision.

You can use this option even if you didn't configure the service deployment for the rollback option.

For more information, see Stopping Amazon ECS service deployments in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Stops a running task.

Any tags associated with the task will be deleted.

When you call StopTask on a task, the equivalent of

docker
stop

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

For Windows containers, POSIX signals do not work and runtime stops the container by sending a CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT. For more information, see Unable to react to graceful shutdown of (Windows) container #25982 on GitHub.

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.

Associates the specified tags to a resource with the specified resourceArn.

If existing tags on a resource aren't specified in the request parameters, they aren't changed. When a resource is deleted, the tags that are associated with that resource are deleted as well.

Deletes specified tags from a resource.

Modifies the parameters for a capacity provider.

Updates the cluster.

Modifies the settings to use for a cluster.

Updates the Amazon ECS container agent on a specified container instance.

Updating the Amazon ECS container agent doesn't 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.

The UpdateContainerAgent API isn't supported for container instances using the Amazon ECS-optimized Amazon Linux 2 (arm64) AMI. To update the container agent, you can update the ecs-init package. This updates the agent. For more information, see Updating the Amazon ECS container agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Agent updates with the UpdateContainerAgent API operation do not apply to Windows container instances. We recommend that you launch new container instances to update the agent version in your Windows clusters.

The UpdateContainerAgent API requires an Amazon ECS-optimized AMI or Amazon Linux AMI 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.

Once a container instance has reached an ACTIVE state, you can change the status of a container instance to DRAINING to manually remove an instance from a cluster, for example to perform system updates, update the Docker daemon, or scale down the cluster size.

A container instance can't be changed to DRAINING until it has reached an ACTIVE status. If the instance is in any other status, an error will be received.

When you set a container instance to DRAINING, Amazon ECS prevents new tasks from being scheduled for placement on the container instance and replacement service tasks are started on other container instances in the cluster if the resources are available. Service tasks on the container instance that are in the PENDING state are stopped immediately.

Service tasks on the container instance that are in the RUNNING state are stopped and replaced according to the service's deployment configuration parameters, minimumHealthyPercent and maximumPercent. You can change the deployment configuration of your service using UpdateService. * If minimumHealthyPercent is below 100%, the scheduler can ignore desiredCount temporarily during task replacement. For example, desiredCount is four tasks, a minimum of 50% allows the scheduler to stop two existing tasks before starting two new tasks. If the minimum is 100%, the service scheduler can't remove existing tasks until the replacement tasks are considered healthy. Tasks for services that do not use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state. Tasks for services that use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state and are reported as healthy by the load balancer.

* The maximumPercent parameter represents an upper limit on the number of running tasks during task replacement. You can use this to define the replacement batch size. For example, if desiredCount is four tasks, a maximum of 200% starts four new tasks before stopping the four tasks to be drained, provided that the cluster resources required to do this are available. If the maximum is 100%, then replacement tasks can't start until the draining tasks have stopped.

Any PENDING or RUNNING tasks that do not belong to a service aren't affected. You must wait for them to finish or stop them manually.

A container instance has completed draining when it has no more RUNNING tasks. You can verify this using ListTasks.

When a container instance has been drained, you can set a container instance to ACTIVE status and once it has reached that status the Amazon ECS scheduler can begin scheduling tasks on the instance again.

Modifies the parameters of a service.

On March 21, 2024, a change was made to resolve the task definition revision before authorization. When a task definition revision is not specified, authorization will occur using the latest revision of a task definition.

For services using the rolling update (ECS) you can update the desired count, deployment configuration, network configuration, load balancers, service registries, enable ECS managed tags option, propagate tags option, task placement constraints and strategies, and task definition. When you update any of these parameters, Amazon ECS starts new tasks with the new configuration.

You can attach Amazon EBS volumes to Amazon ECS tasks by configuring the volume when starting or running a task, or when creating or updating a service. For more information, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. You can update your volume configurations and trigger a new deployment. volumeConfigurations is only supported for REPLICA service and not DAEMON service. If you leave volumeConfigurations null, it doesn't trigger a new deployment. For more information on volumes, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

For services using the blue/green (CODE_DEPLOY) deployment controller, only the desired count, deployment configuration, health check grace period, task placement constraints and strategies, enable ECS managed tags option, and propagate tags can be updated using this API. If the network configuration, platform version, task definition, or load balancer need to be updated, create a new CodeDeploy deployment. For more information, see CreateDeployment in the CodeDeploy API Reference.

For services using an external deployment controller, you can update only the desired count, task placement constraints and strategies, health check grace period, enable ECS managed tags option, and propagate tags option, using this API. If the launch type, load balancer, network configuration, platform version, or task definition need to be updated, create a new task set For more information, see CreateTaskSet.

You can add to or subtract from the number of instantiations of a task definition in a service by specifying the cluster that the service is running in and a new desiredCount parameter.

You can attach Amazon EBS volumes to Amazon ECS tasks by configuring the volume when starting or running a task, or when creating or updating a service. For more information, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

If you have updated the container 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.

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 don't 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.

* If minimumHealthyPercent is below 100%, the scheduler can ignore desiredCount temporarily during a deployment. For example, if desiredCount is four tasks, a minimum of 50% allows the scheduler to stop two existing tasks before starting two new tasks. Tasks for services that don't use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state. Tasks for services that use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state and are reported as healthy by the load balancer.

* The maximumPercent parameter represents an upper limit on the number of running tasks during a deployment. You can use it to define the deployment batch size. For example, if desiredCount is four tasks, a maximum of 200% starts four new tasks before stopping the four older tasks (provided that the cluster resources required to do this are available).

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 this, 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.

* Determine which of the container instances in your cluster can support your service's task definition. For example, they have the required CPU, memory, ports, and container instance attributes.

* By default, the service scheduler attempts to balance tasks across Availability Zones in this manner even though you can choose a different placement strategy.

*

Sort the valid container instances by the fewest number of running tasks for this service in the same Availability Zone as the instance. For example, if zone A has one running service task and zones B and C each have zero, valid container instances in either zone B or C are considered optimal for placement.

*

Place the new service task on a valid container instance in an optimal Availability Zone (based on the previous steps), favoring container instances with the fewest number of running tasks for this service.

When the service scheduler stops running tasks, it attempts to maintain balance across the Availability Zones in your cluster using the following logic:

* Sort the container instances by the largest number of running tasks for this service in the same Availability Zone as the instance. For example, if zone A has one running service task and zones B and C each have two, container instances in either zone B or C are considered optimal for termination.

* Stop the task on a container instance in an optimal Availability Zone (based on the previous steps), favoring container instances with the largest number of running tasks for this service.

Modifies which task set in a service is the primary task set.

Any parameters that are updated on the primary task set in a service will transition to the service. This is used when a service uses the EXTERNAL deployment controller type. For more information, see Amazon ECS Deployment Types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Updates the protection status of a task.

You can set protectionEnabled to true to protect your task from termination during scale-in events from Service Autoscaling or deployments. Task-protection, by default, expires after 2 hours at which point Amazon ECS clears the protectionEnabled property making the task eligible for termination by a subsequent scale-in event.
