ECS Task Component

Overview

Use the ECS Task component to visualize Amazon ECS tasks from your Amazon Web Services architecture.

Toolbar

Use the toolbar to configure and customize the component. The following options are available:

  • Color: Select a fill color for the body of the component. You can use the same colors for the 2D and 3D views or different colors for each.
  • Launch type: Select the launch type for your standalone task. Supported options are Fargate and EC2.
  • CPU: Select the CPU at the task level. This option is not available for EC2.
  • Memory (GB): Select the amount of memory available at the task level. This option is not available for EC2.
  • Storage (GiB): Enter the amount of storage provisioned for the task, in gibibytes. This option is not available for EC2.

API

Use the Cloudcraft API to programmatically access and render your architecture diagrams as JSON objects.

Schema

The following is an example JSON object of a ECS Task component:

{
    "type": "ecstask",
    "id": "d76098b3-0d07-4362-80c9-018e474bb910",
    "arn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-east-1:746399320916:task/ecs-cluster/9790893504785954834",
    "region": "us-west-2",
    "mapPos": [7.5,3],
    "launchType": "fargate",
    "cpu": "256",
    "memoryGB": "0.5",
    "storageGB": 20,
    "color": {
        "isometric": "#ffeb3b",
        "2d": "#ffeb3b"
    },
    "link": "https://aws.amazon.com/ecs/",
    "locked": true
}
  • type: string: The type of component. Must be a string of value ecstask for this component.
  • id: string, uuid: The unique identifier for the component. The API uses a UUID v4 internally but accepts any unique string.
  • arn: string: The globally unique identifier for the component within AWS, known as the Amazon Resource Names.
  • region: string: The AWS region for the component. The API supports all global regions, except for AWS China.
  • mapPos: array: The position of the component in the blueprint, expressed as an x- and y-coordinate pair.
  • launchType: string: The launch type for the standalone task. Accepts one of the following values: fargate or ec2. Defaults to ec2.
  • cpu: number: The number of vCPUs at the task level. See Accepted values for cpu for more information. Defaults to 256.
  • memoryGB: number: The amount of memory at the task level. See Accepted values for memoryGB for more information. Defaults to 0.5.
  • storageGB: number: The amount of storage provisioned for the task, in gibibytes. Accepts a value between 20 and 200. Defaults to 20.
  • color: object: The fill color for the component body.
    • isometric: string: A hexadecimal color for the component body in the 3D view. Defaults to #ececed for EC2 and #3c3c3c for Fargate.
    • 2d: string: A hexadecimal color for the component body in the 2D view. Defaults to #d86613.
  • link: string, uri: A URI that links the component to another diagram or an external website. Accepts one of the following formats: blueprint:// or https://.
  • locked: boolean: Whether to allow changes to the position of the component through the web interface. Defaults to false.

Accepted values for cpu

The cpu key accepts the following values:

256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096

Note: This key does not do anything if you set launchType to ec2.

Accepted values for memoryGB

The memoryGB key accepts the following values:

0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30

Note: This key does not do anything if you set launchType to ec2.

Valid combinations for cpu and memoryGB

The cpu and memoryGB keys together determine the size of your task, but you must provide a valid combination of values.

The table below shows which combinations are valid.
