aws_ecs_task_definition
account_id
Type: STRING
compatibilities
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRING
Provider name: compatibilities
Description: The task launch types the task definition validated against during task definition registration. For more information, see Amazon ECS launch types in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
container_definitions
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: containerDefinitions
Description: 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.
command
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRING
Provider name: command
Description: The command that’s passed to the container. This parameter maps to Cmd
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the COMMAND
parameter to docker run. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#cmd. If there are multiple arguments, each argument is a separated string in the array.
cpu
Type: INT32
Provider name: cpu
Description: 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. 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. 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’s 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 is guaranteed a minimum of 512 CPU units when needed. Moreover, each container could float to higher CPU usage if the other container was not using it. 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 isn’t required, and you can use CPU values below 2 in your container definitions. For CPU values below 2 (including null), the behavior varies based on your Amazon ECS container agent version:- Agent versions less than or equal to 1.1.0: Null and zero CPU values are passed to Docker as 0, which Docker then converts to 1,024 CPU shares. CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 1, which the Linux kernel converts to two CPU shares.
- Agent versions greater than or equal to 1.2.0: Null, zero, and CPU values of 1 are passed to Docker as 2.
On Windows container instances, the CPU limit is enforced as an absolute limit, or a quota. Windows containers only have access to the specified amount of CPU that’s described in the task definition. A null or zero CPU value is passed to Docker as 0
, which Windows interprets as 1% of one CPU.
credential_specs
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRING
Provider name: credentialSpecs
Description: A list of ARNs in SSM or Amazon S3 to a credential spec (CredSpec
) file that configures the container for Active Directory authentication. We recommend that you use this parameter instead of the dockerSecurityOptions
. The maximum number of ARNs is 1. There are two formats for each ARN.- credentialspecdomainless:MyARN
- You use
credentialspecdomainless:MyARN
to provide a CredSpec
with an additional section for a secret in Secrets Manager. You provide the login credentials to the domain in the secret. Each task that runs on any container instance can join different domains. You can use this format without joining the container instance to a domain. - credentialspec:MyARN
- You use
credentialspec:MyARN
to provide a CredSpec
for a single domain. You must join the container instance to the domain before you start any tasks that use this task definition.
In both formats, replace MyARN
with the ARN in SSM or Amazon S3. If you provide a credentialspecdomainless:MyARN
, the credspec
must provide a ARN in Secrets Manager for a secret containing the username, password, and the domain to connect to. For better security, the instance isn’t joined to the domain for domainless authentication. Other applications on the instance can’t use the domainless credentials. You can use this parameter to run tasks on the same instance, even it the tasks need to join different domains. For more information, see Using gMSAs for Windows Containers and Using gMSAs for Linux Containers.
depends_on
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: dependsOn
Description: The dependencies defined for container startup and shutdown. A container can contain multiple dependencies on other containers in a task definition. When a dependency is defined for container startup, for container shutdown it is reversed. For tasks using the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to turn on container dependencies. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. If you’re using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init
package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301
or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init
. For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires the following platforms:- Linux platform version
1.3.0
or later. - Windows platform version
1.0.0
or later.

- This condition is the same as COMPLETE
, but it also requires that the container exits with a zero
status. This condition can’t be set on an essential container.HEALTHY
- This condition validates that the dependent container passes its Docker health check before permitting other containers to start. This requires that the dependent container has health checks configured. This condition is confirmed only at task startup.

file extension. Each line in an environment file contains an environment variable in VARIABLE=VALUE
format. Lines beginning with #
are treated as comments and are ignored. For more information about the environment variable file syntax, see Declare default environment variables in file. If there are environment variables specified using the environment
parameter in a container definition, they take precedence over the variables contained within an environment file. If multiple environment files are specified that contain the same variable, they’re processed from the top down. We recommend that you use unique variable names. For more information, see Specifying Environment Variables in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Provider name: maxSwap
Description: The total amount of swap memory (in MiB) a container can use. This parameter will be translated to the –memory-swap
option to docker run where the value would be the sum of the container memory plus the maxSwap
value. If a maxSwap
value of 0
is specified, the container will not use swap. Accepted values are 0
or any positive integer. If the maxSwap
parameter is omitted, the container will use the swap configuration for the container instance it is running on. A maxSwap
value must be set for the swappiness

log_configuration
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: logConfiguration
Description: The log configuration specification for the container. This parameter maps to LogConfig
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the –log-driver
option to docker run. By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container can 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 about the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation. Amazon ECS currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type). Additional log drivers may be available in future releases of the Amazon ECS container agent. This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version –format ‘{{.Server.APIVersion}}’
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.
log_driver
Type: STRING
Provider name: logDriver
Description: The log driver to use for the container. For tasks on Fargate, the supported log drivers are awslogs
, splunk

. For tasks hosted on Amazon EC2 instances, the supported log drivers are awslogs
, fluentd
, gelf
, json-file
, journald
, logentries
,syslog
, splunk
, and awsfirelens
. For more information about using the awslogs
log driver, see Using the awslogs log driver in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. For more information about using the awsfirelens
log driver, see Custom log routing in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. If you have a custom driver that isn’t listed, you can fork the Amazon ECS container agent project that’s 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, we don’t currently provide support for running modified copies of this software.
options
Type: MAP_STRING_STRING
Provider name: options
Description: 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.

If the SSM Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you’re launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
memory
Type: INT32
Provider name: memory
Description: The amount (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the memory specified here, the container is killed. The total amount of memory reserved for all containers within a task must be lower than the task memory
value, if one is specified. This parameter maps to Memory
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the –memory
option to docker run. If using the Fargate launch type, this parameter is optional. If using the EC2 launch type, you must specify either a task-level memory value or a container-level memory value. If you specify both a container-level memory
and memoryReservation
value, memory
must be greater than memoryReservation
. If you specify memoryReservation
, then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance where the container is placed. Otherwise, the value of memory
is used. The Docker 20.10.0 or later daemon reserves a minimum of 6 MiB of memory for a container. So, don’t specify less than 6 MiB of memory for your containers. The Docker 19.03.13-ce or earlier daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container. So, don’t specify less than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
memory_reservation
Type: INT32
Provider name: memoryReservation
Description: The soft limit (in MiB) of memory to reserve for the container. When system memory is under heavy contention, Docker attempts to keep the container memory to this soft limit. However, your container can consume more memory when it needs to, up to either the hard limit specified with the memory
parameter (if applicable), or all of the available memory on the container instance, whichever comes first. This parameter maps to MemoryReservation
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the –memory-reservation
option to docker run. If a task-level memory value is not specified, you must specify a non-zero integer for one or both of memory
or memoryReservation
in a container definition. If you specify both, memory
must be greater than memoryReservation
. If you specify memoryReservation
, then that value is subtracted from the available memory resources for the container instance where 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 20.10.0 or later daemon reserves a minimum of 6 MiB of memory for a container. So, don’t specify less than 6 MiB of memory for your containers. The Docker 19.03.13-ce or earlier daemon reserves a minimum of 4 MiB of memory for a container. So, don’t specify less than 4 MiB of memory for your containers.
mount_points
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: mountPoints
Description: The mount points for data volumes in your container. This parameter maps to Volumes
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the –volume
option to docker run. Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData
. Windows containers can’t mount directories on a different drive, and mount point can’t be across drives.
container_path
Type: STRING
Provider name: containerPath
Description: The path on the container to mount the host volume at.
read_only
Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: readOnly
Description: If this value is true
, the container has read-only access to the volume. If this value is false
, then the container can write to the volume. The default value is false
.
source_volume
Type: STRING
Provider name: sourceVolume
Description: The name of the volume to mount. Must be a volume name referenced in the name
parameter of task definition volume
.
name
Type: STRING
Provider name: name
Description: The name of a container. If you’re 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, underscores, and hyphens are allowed. This parameter maps to name
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the –name
option to docker run.
port_mappings
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: portMappings
Description: 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, 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’s no loopback for port mappings on Windows, so you can’t 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. After a task reaches the RUNNING
status, manual and automatic host and container port assignments are visible in the Network Bindings section of a container description for a selected task in the Amazon ECS console. The assignments are also visible in the networkBindings
section DescribeTasks responses.
app_protocol
Type: STRING
Provider name: appProtocol
Description: The application protocol that’s used for the port mapping. This parameter only applies to Service Connect. We recommend that you set this parameter to be consistent with the protocol that your application uses. If you set this parameter, Amazon ECS adds protocol-specific connection handling to the Service Connect proxy. If you set this parameter, Amazon ECS adds protocol-specific telemetry in the Amazon ECS console and CloudWatch. If you don’t set a value for this parameter, then TCP is used. However, Amazon ECS doesn’t add protocol-specific telemetry for TCP. appProtocol
is immutable in a Service Connect service. Updating this field requires a service deletion and redeployment. Tasks that run in a namespace can use short names to connect to services in the namespace. Tasks can connect to services across all of the clusters in the namespace. Tasks connect through a managed proxy container that collects logs and metrics for increased visibility. Only the tasks that Amazon ECS services create are supported with Service Connect. For more information, see Service Connect in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
container_port
Type: INT32
Provider name: containerPort
Description: The port number on the container that’s bound to the user-specified or automatically assigned host port. If you use containers in a task with the awsvpc
or host
network mode, specify the exposed ports using containerPort
. If you use 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.
container_port_range
Type: STRING
Provider name: containerPortRange
Description: The port number range on the container that’s bound to the dynamically mapped host port range. The following rules apply when you specify a containerPortRange
:- You must use either the
bridge
network mode or the awsvpc
network mode. - This parameter is available for both the EC2 and Fargate launch types.
- This parameter is available for both the Linux and Windows operating systems.
- The container instance must have at least version 1.67.0 of the container agent and at least version 1.67.0-1 of the
ecs-init
package - You can specify a maximum of 100 port ranges per container.
- You do not specify a
hostPortRange
. The value of the hostPortRange
is set as follows:- For containers in a task with the
awsvpc
network mode, the hostPortRange
is set to the same value as the containerPortRange
. This is a static mapping strategy. - For containers in a task with the
bridge
network mode, the Amazon ECS agent finds open host ports from the default ephemeral range and passes it to docker to bind them to the container ports.
- The
containerPortRange
valid values are between 1 and 65535. - A port can only be included in one port mapping per container.
- You cannot specify overlapping port ranges.
- The first port in the range must be less than last port in the range.
- Docker recommends that you turn off the docker-proxy in the Docker daemon config file when you have a large number of ports. For more information, see Issue #11185 on the Github website. For information about how to turn off the docker-proxy in the Docker daemon config file, see Docker daemon in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.
You can call DescribeTasks
to view the hostPortRange
which are the host ports that are bound to the container ports.
host_port
Type: INT32
Provider name: hostPort
Description: The port number on the container instance to reserve for your container. If you specify a containerPortRange
, leave this field empty and the value of the hostPort
is set as follows:- For containers in a task with the
awsvpc
network mode, the hostPort
is set to the same value as the containerPort
. This is a static mapping strategy. - For containers in a task with the
bridge
network mode, the Amazon ECS agent finds open ports on the host and automatically binds them to the container ports. This is a dynamic mapping strategy.
If you use containers in a task with the awsvpc
or host
network mode, the hostPort
can either be left blank or set to the same value as the containerPort
. If you use 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 (Linux) or 49152 through 65535 (Windows) is used. Do not attempt to specify a host port in the ephemeral port range as these are reserved for automatic assignment. In general, ports below 32768 are outside of the ephemeral port range. The default reserved ports are 22 for SSH, the Docker ports 2375 and 2376, and the Amazon ECS container agent ports 51678-51680. Any host port that was previously specified in a running task is also reserved while the task is running. That is, after a task stops, the host port is released. The current reserved ports are displayed in the remainingResources
of DescribeContainerInstances output. A container instance can have up to 100 reserved ports at a time. This number includes the default reserved ports. Automatically assigned ports aren’t included in the 100 reserved ports quota.
name
Type: STRING
Provider name: name
Description: The name that’s used for the port mapping. This parameter only applies to Service Connect. This parameter is the name that you use in the serviceConnectConfiguration
of a service. The name can include up to 64 characters. The characters can include lowercase letters, numbers, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The name can’t start with a hyphen. For more information, see Service Connect in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
protocol
Type: STRING
Provider name: protocol
Description: The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are tcp
and udp
. The default is tcp
. protocol
is immutable in a Service Connect service. Updating this field requires a service deletion and redeployment.
privileged
Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: privileged
Description: 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. This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks run on Fargate.
pseudo_terminal
Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: pseudoTerminal
Description: When this parameter is true
, a TTY is allocated. This parameter maps to Tty
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the –tty
option to docker run.
readonly_root_filesystem
Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: readonlyRootFilesystem
Description: 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. This parameter is not supported for Windows containers.
repository_credentials
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: repositoryCredentials
Description: The private repository authentication credentials to use.
credentials_parameter
Type: STRING
Provider name: credentialsParameter
Description: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret containing the private repository credentials. When you use the Amazon ECS API, CLI, or Amazon Web Services SDK, if the secret exists in the same Region as the task that you’re launching then you can use either the full ARN or the name of the secret. When you use the Amazon Web Services Management Console, you must specify the full ARN of the secret.

Provider name: resourceRequirements
Description: The type and amount of a resource to assign to a container. The only supported resource is a GPU.
type
Type: STRING
Provider name: type
Description: The type of resource to assign to a container.
value
Type: STRING
Provider name: value

, the value is the number of physical GPUs
the Amazon ECS container agent reserves for the container. The number of GPUs that’s reserved for all containers in a task can’t exceed the number of available GPUs on the container instance that the task is launched on. When the type is InferenceAccelerator
, the value
matches the deviceName
for an InferenceAccelerator specified in a task definition.
secrets
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: secrets
Description: The secrets to pass to the container. For more information, see Specifying Sensitive Data in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
name
Type: STRING
Provider name: name
Description: The name of the secret.
value_from
Type: STRING
Provider name: valueFrom
Description: The secret to expose to the container. The supported values are either the full ARN of the Secrets Manager secret or the full ARN of the parameter in the SSM Parameter Store. For information about the require Identity and Access Management permissions, see Required IAM permissions for Amazon ECS secrets (for Secrets Manager) or Required IAM permissions for Amazon ECS secrets (for Systems Manager Parameter store) in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. If the SSM Parameter Store parameter exists in the same Region as the task you’re launching, then you can use either the full ARN or name of the parameter. If the parameter exists in a different Region, then the full ARN must be specified.
start_timeout
Type: INT32
Provider name: startTimeout
Description: Time duration (in seconds) to wait before giving up on resolving dependencies for a container. For example, you specify two containers in a task definition with containerA having a dependency on containerB reaching a COMPLETE
, SUCCESS
, or HEALTHY
status. If a startTimeout
value is specified for containerB and it doesn’t reach the desired status within that time then containerA gives up and not start. This results in the task transitioning to a STOPPED
state. When the ECS_CONTAINER_START_TIMEOUT
container agent configuration variable is used, it’s enforced independently from this start timeout value. For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires the following platforms:- Linux platform version
1.3.0
or later. - Windows platform version
1.0.0
or later.
For tasks using the EC2 launch type, your container instances require at least version 1.26.0
of the container agent to use a container start timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. If you’re using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1
of the ecs-init
package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301
or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init
. For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. The valid values are 2-120 seconds.
stop_timeout
Type: INT32
Provider name: stopTimeout
Description: Time duration (in seconds) to wait before the container is forcefully killed if it doesn’t exit normally on its own. For tasks using the Fargate launch type, the task or service requires the following platforms:- Linux platform version
1.3.0
or later. - Windows platform version
1.0.0
or later.
The max stop timeout value is 120 seconds and if the parameter is not specified, the default value of 30 seconds is used. For tasks that use the EC2 launch type, if the stopTimeout
parameter isn’t specified, the value set for the Amazon ECS container agent configuration variable ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT
is used. If neither the stopTimeout
parameter or the ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT
agent configuration variable are set, then the default values of 30 seconds for Linux containers and 30 seconds on Windows containers are used. Your container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent to use a container stop timeout value. However, we recommend using the latest container agent version. For information about checking your agent version and updating to the latest version, see Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. If you’re using an Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI, your instance needs at least version 1.26.0-1 of the ecs-init
package. If your container instances are launched from version 20190301
or later, then they contain the required versions of the container agent and ecs-init
. For more information, see Amazon ECS-optimized Linux AMI in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. The valid values are 2-120 seconds.
system_controls
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: systemControls
Description: A list of namespaced kernel parameters to set in the container. This parameter maps to Sysctls
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the –sysctl
option to docker run. For example, you can configure net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time
setting to maintain longer lived connections.
namespace
Type: STRING
Provider name: namespace
Description: The namespaced kernel parameter to set a value
for.

, and Sysctls
that start with “fs.mqueue."
Valid network namespace values: Sysctls
that start with “net."
All of these values are supported by Fargate.
ulimits
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: ulimits
Description: A list of ulimits
to set in the container. If a ulimit
value is specified in a task definition, it overrides the default values set by Docker. 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. Amazon ECS tasks hosted on Fargate use the default resource limit values set by the operating system with the exception of the nofile
resource limit parameter which Fargate overrides. The nofile
resource limit sets a restriction on the number of open files that a container can use. The default nofile
soft limit is 1024
and the default hard limit is 65535
. This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version –format ‘{{.Server.APIVersion}}’

Type: STRING
Provider name: sourceContainer
Description: The name of another container within the same task definition to mount volumes from.
working_directory
Type: STRING
Provider name: workingDirectory
Description: The working directory to run commands inside the container in. This parameter maps to WorkingDir
in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the –workdir
option to docker run.
cpu
Type: STRING
Provider name: cpu
Description: The number of cpu
units used by the task. If you use the EC2 launch type, this field is optional. Any value can be used. If you use the Fargate launch type, this field is required. You must use one of the following values. The value that you choose determines your range of valid values for the memory

, task
, or none
. If host
is specified, then all containers within the tasks that specified the host
IPC mode on the same container instance share the same IPC resources with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task
is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same IPC resources. If none
is specified, then IPC resources within the containers of a task are private and not shared with other containers in a task or on the container instance. If no value is specified, then the IPC resource namespace sharing depends on the Docker daemon setting on the container instance. For more information, see IPC settings in the Docker run reference. If the host
IPC mode is used, be aware that there is a heightened risk of undesired IPC namespace expose. For more information, see Docker security. If you are setting namespaced kernel parameters using systemControls
for the containers in the task, the following will apply to your IPC resource namespace. For more information, see System Controls in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
- For tasks that use the
host
IPC mode, IPC namespace related systemControls
are not supported. - For tasks that use the
task
IPC mode, IPC namespace related systemControls
will apply to all containers within a task.
This parameter is not supported for Windows containers or tasks run on Fargate.memory
Type: STRING
Provider name: memory
Description: The amount (in MiB) of memory used by the task. If your tasks runs on Amazon EC2 instances, you must specify either a task-level memory value or a container-level memory value. This field is optional and any value can be used. If a task-level memory value is specified, the container-level memory value is optional. For more information regarding container-level memory and memory reservation, see ContainerDefinition. If your tasks runs on Fargate, this field is required. You must use one of the following values. The value you choose determines your range of valid values for the cpu

network_mode
Type: STRING
Provider name: networkMode
Description: The Docker networking mode to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are none
, bridge
, awsvpc
, and host
. If no network mode is specified, the default is bridge
. For Amazon ECS tasks on Fargate, the awsvpc
network mode is required. For Amazon ECS tasks on Amazon EC2 Linux instances, any network mode can be used. For Amazon ECS tasks on Amazon EC2 Windows instances, <default>
or awsvpc
can be used. If the network mode is set to none
, you cannot specify port mappings in your container definitions, and the tasks containers do not have external connectivity. The host
and awsvpc
network modes offer the highest networking performance for containers because they use the EC2 network stack instead of the virtualized network stack provided by the bridge
mode. With the host
and awsvpc
network modes, exposed container ports are mapped directly to the corresponding host port (for the host
network mode) or the attached elastic network interface port (for the awsvpc
network mode), so you cannot take advantage of dynamic host port mappings. When using the host
network mode, you should not run containers using the root user (UID 0). It is considered best practice to use a non-root user. If the network mode is awsvpc
, the task is allocated an elastic network interface, and you must specify a NetworkConfiguration value when you create a service or run a task with the task definition. For more information, see Task Networking in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. If the network mode is host
, you cannot run multiple instantiations of the same task on a single container instance when port mappings are used. For more information, see Network settings in the Docker run reference.
pid_mode
Type: STRING
Provider name: pidMode
Description: The process namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are host
or task
. On Fargate for Linux containers, the only valid value is task
. For example, monitoring sidecars might need pidMode
to access information about other containers running in the same task. If host
is specified, all containers within the tasks that specified the host
PID mode on the same container instance share the same process namespace with the host Amazon EC2 instance. If task
is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same process namespace. If no value is specified, the default is a private namespace for each container. For more information, see PID settings in the Docker run reference. If the host
PID mode is used, there’s a heightened risk of undesired process namespace exposure. For more information, see Docker security. This parameter is not supported for Windows containers. This parameter is only supported for tasks that are hosted on Fargate if the tasks are using platform version 1.4.0
or later (Linux). This isn’t supported for Windows containers on Fargate.

Provider name: accessPointId
Description: The Amazon EFS access point ID to use. If an access point is specified, the root directory value specified in the EFSVolumeConfiguration
must either be omitted or set to /
which will enforce the path set on the EFS access point. If an access point is used, transit encryption must be on in the EFSVolumeConfiguration
. For more information, see Working with Amazon EFS access points in the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide.
iam
Type: STRING
Provider name: iam
Description: Determines whether to use the Amazon ECS task role defined in a task definition when mounting the Amazon EFS file system. If it is turned on, transit encryption must be turned on in the EFSVolumeConfiguration

file_system_id
Type: STRING
Provider name: fileSystemId
Description: The Amazon EFS file system ID to use.
root_directory
Type: STRING
Provider name: rootDirectory
Description: The directory within the Amazon EFS file system to mount as the root directory inside the host. If this parameter is omitted, the root of the Amazon EFS volume will be used. Specifying /
will have the same effect as omitting this parameter. If an EFS access point is specified in the authorizationConfig
, the root directory parameter must either be omitted or set to /
which will enforce the path set on the EFS access point.
transit_encryption
Type: STRING
Provider name: transitEncryption
Description: Determines whether to use encryption for Amazon EFS data in transit between the Amazon ECS host and the Amazon EFS server. Transit encryption must be turned on if Amazon EFS IAM authorization is used. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of DISABLED

Description: The directory within the Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system to mount as the root directory inside the host.
host
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: host
Description: This parameter is specified when you use bind mount host volumes. The contents of the host
parameter determine whether your bind mount host volume persists on the host container instance and where it’s stored. If the host
parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon assigns a host path for your data volume. However, the data isn’t guaranteed to persist after the containers that are associated with it stop running. Windows containers can mount whole directories on the same drive as $env:ProgramData
. Windows containers can’t mount directories on a different drive, and mount point can’t be across drives. For example, you can mount C:\my\path:C:\my\path
and D::D:</code>, but not D:\my\path:C:\my\path
or D::C:\my\path
.
source_path
Type: STRING
Provider name: sourcePath
Description: When the host
parameter is used, specify a sourcePath
to declare the path on the host container instance that’s 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 doesn’t 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’re using the Fargate launch type, the sourcePath
parameter is not supported.
name
