Type

Description

service [required]

object

serviceArn

string

The ARN that identifies the service. The ARN contains the arn:aws:ecs namespace, followed by the Region of the service, the Amazon Web Services account ID of the service owner, the service namespace, and then the service name. For example, arn:aws:ecs:region:012345678910:service/my-service.

serviceName

string

The name of your service. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, underscores, and hyphens are allowed. Service names must be unique within a cluster. However, you can have similarly named services in multiple clusters within a Region or across multiple Regions.

clusterArn

string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that hosts the service.

loadBalancers

[object]

A list of Elastic Load Balancing load balancer objects. It contains the load balancer name, the container name, and the container port to access from the load balancer. The container name is as it appears in a container definition.

targetGroupArn

string

The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Elastic Load Balancing target group or groups associated with a service or task set. A target group ARN is only specified when using an Application Load Balancer or Network Load Balancer. If you're using a Classic Load Balancer, omit the target group ARN. For services using the ECS deployment controller, you can specify one or multiple target groups. For more information, see Registering Multiple Target Groups with a Service in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. For services using the CODE_DEPLOY deployment controller, you're required to define two target groups for the load balancer. For more information, see Blue/Green Deployment with CodeDeploy in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. If your service's task definition uses the awsvpc network mode, you must choose ip as the target type, not instance. Do this when creating your target groups because tasks that use the awsvpc network mode are associated with an elastic network interface, not an Amazon EC2 instance. This network mode is required for the Fargate launch type.

loadBalancerName

string

The name of the load balancer to associate with the Amazon ECS service or task set. A load balancer name is only specified when using a Classic Load Balancer. If you are using an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer the load balancer name parameter should be omitted.

containerName

string

The name of the container (as it appears in a container definition) to associate with the load balancer.

containerPort

number

The port on the container to associate with the load balancer. This port must correspond to a containerPort in the task definition the tasks in the service are using. For tasks that use the EC2 launch type, the container instance they're launched on must allow ingress traffic on the hostPort of the port mapping.

serviceRegistries

[object]

The details for the service discovery registries to assign to this service. For more information, see Service Discovery.

registryArn

string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the service registry. The currently supported service registry is Cloud Map. For more information, see CreateService.

port

number

The port value used if your service discovery service specified an SRV record. This field might be used if both the awsvpc network mode and SRV records are used.

containerName

string

The container name value to be used for your service discovery service. It's already specified in the task definition. 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. However, you can't specify both.

containerPort

number

The port value to be used for your service discovery service. It's already specified in the task definition. 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. However, you can't specify both.

status

string

The status of the service. The valid values are ACTIVE, DRAINING, or INACTIVE.

desiredCount

number

The desired number of instantiations of the task definition to keep running on the service. This value is specified when the service is created with CreateService, and it can be modified with UpdateService.

runningCount

number

launchType

string

The launch type the service is using. When using the DescribeServices API, this field is omitted if the service was created using a capacity provider strategy.

capacityProviderStrategy

[object]

The capacity provider strategy the service uses. When using the DescribeServices API, this field is omitted if the service was created using a launch type.

capacityProvider [required]

string

The short name of the capacity provider.

weight

number

The weight value designates the relative percentage of the total number of tasks launched that should use the specified capacity provider. The weight value is taken into consideration after the base value, if defined, is satisfied. If no weight value is specified, the default value of 0 is used. When multiple capacity providers are specified within a capacity provider strategy, at least one of the capacity providers must have a weight value greater than zero and any capacity providers with a weight of 0 can't be used to place tasks. If you specify multiple capacity providers in a strategy that all have a weight of 0, any RunTask or CreateService actions using the capacity provider strategy will fail. An example scenario for using weights is defining a strategy that contains two capacity providers and both have a weight of 1, then when the base is satisfied, the tasks will be split evenly across the two capacity providers. Using that same logic, if you specify a weight of 1 for capacityProviderA and a weight of 4 for capacityProviderB, then for every one task that's run using capacityProviderA, four tasks would use capacityProviderB.

base

number

The base value designates how many tasks, at a minimum, to run on the specified capacity provider. Only one capacity provider in a capacity provider strategy can have a base defined. If no value is specified, the default value of 0 is used.

platformVersion

string

The platform version to run your service on. A platform version is only specified for tasks that are hosted on Fargate. If one isn't specified, the LATEST platform version is used. For more information, see Fargate Platform Versions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

platformFamily

taskDefinition

string

The task definition to use for tasks in the service. This value is specified when the service is created with CreateService, and it can be modified with UpdateService.

deploymentConfiguration

object

Optional deployment parameters that control how many tasks run during the deployment and the ordering of stopping and starting tasks.

deploymentCircuitBreaker

object

The deployment circuit breaker can only be used for services using the rolling update (ECS) deployment type. The deployment circuit breaker determines whether a service deployment will fail if the service can't reach a steady state. If deployment circuit breaker is enabled, a service deployment will transition to a failed state and stop launching new tasks. If rollback is enabled, when a service deployment fails, the service is rolled back to the last deployment that completed successfully.

enable [required]

boolean

Determines whether to use the deployment circuit breaker logic for the service.

rollback [required]

boolean

Determines whether to configure Amazon ECS to roll back the service if a service deployment fails. If rollback is enabled, when a service deployment fails, the service is rolled back to the last deployment that completed successfully.

maximumPercent

number

If a service is using the rolling update (ECS) deployment type, the maximum percent parameter represents an upper limit on the number of tasks in a service that are allowed in the RUNNING or PENDING state during a deployment, as a percentage of the desired number of tasks (rounded down to the nearest integer), and while any container instances are in the DRAINING state if the service contains tasks using the EC2 launch type. This parameter enables you to define the deployment batch size. For example, if your service has a desired number of four tasks and a maximum percent value of 200%, the scheduler may 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 maximum percent is 200%. If a service is using the blue/green (CODE_DEPLOY) or EXTERNAL deployment types and tasks that use the EC2 launch type, the maximum percent value is set to the default value and is used to define the upper limit on the number of the tasks in the service that remain in the RUNNING state while the container instances are in the DRAINING state. If the tasks in the service use the Fargate launch type, the maximum percent value is not used, although it is returned when describing your service.

minimumHealthyPercent

number

If a service is using the rolling update (ECS) deployment type, the minimum healthy percent represents a lower limit on the number of tasks in a service that must remain in the RUNNING state during a deployment, as a percentage of the desired number of tasks (rounded up to the nearest integer), and while any container instances are in the DRAINING state if the service contains tasks using the EC2 launch type. This parameter enables you to deploy without using additional cluster capacity. For example, if your service has a desired number of four tasks and a minimum healthy percent of 50%, the scheduler may 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're in the RUNNING state; tasks for services that do use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state and they're reported as healthy by the load balancer. The default value for minimum healthy percent is 100%. If a service is using the blue/green (CODE_DEPLOY) or EXTERNAL deployment types and tasks that use the EC2 launch type, the minimum healthy percent value is set to the default value and is used to define the lower limit on the number of the tasks in the service that remain in the RUNNING state while the container instances are in the DRAINING state. If the tasks in the service use the Fargate launch type, the minimum healthy percent value is not used, although it is returned when describing your service.

When multiple capacity providers are specified within a capacity provider strategy, at least one of the capacity providers must have a weight value greater than zero and any capacity providers with a weight of 0 can't be used to place tasks. If you specify multiple capacity providers in a strategy that all have a weight of 0, any RunTask or CreateService actions using the capacity provider strategy will fail. An example scenario for using weights is defining a strategy that contains two capacity providers and both have a weight of 1, then when the base is satisfied, the tasks will be split evenly across the two capacity providers. Using that same logic, if you specify a weight of 1 for capacityProviderA and a weight of 4 for capacityProviderB, then for every one task that's run using capacityProviderA, four tasks would use capacityProviderB.

You can use task placement strategies and constraints to customize task placement decisions. DAEMON-The daemon scheduling strategy deploys exactly one task on each active container instance. This task 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 stop tasks that don't meet the placement constraints. Fargate tasks don't support the DAEMON scheduling strategy.

deploymentController

object

The deployment controller type the service is using. When using the DescribeServices API, this field is omitted if the service uses the ECS deployment controller type.

type [required]

string

The deployment controller type to use. There are three deployment controller types available: ECS The rolling update (ECS) deployment type involves replacing the current running version of the container with the latest version.
