# ContainerRestartPolicy
<a name="API_ContainerRestartPolicy"></a>

You can enable a restart policy for each container defined in your task definition, to overcome transient failures faster and maintain task availability. When you enable a restart policy for a container, Amazon ECS can restart the container if it exits, without needing to replace the task. For more information, see [Restart individual containers in Amazon ECS tasks with container restart policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/container-restart-policy.html) in the *Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide*.

 ** enabled **   <a name="ECS-Type-ContainerRestartPolicy-enabled"></a>
Specifies whether a restart policy is enabled for the container.  
Type: Boolean  
Required: Yes

 ** ignoredExitCodes **   <a name="ECS-Type-ContainerRestartPolicy-ignoredExitCodes"></a>
A list of exit codes that Amazon ECS will ignore and not attempt a restart on. You can specify a maximum of 50 container exit codes. By default, Amazon ECS does not ignore any exit codes.  
Type: Array of integers  
Required: No

 ** restartAttemptPeriod **   <a name="ECS-Type-ContainerRestartPolicy-restartAttemptPeriod"></a>
A period of time (in seconds) that the container must run for before a restart can be attempted. A container can be restarted only once every `restartAttemptPeriod` seconds. If a container isn't able to run for this time period and exits early, it will not be restarted. You can set a minimum `restartAttemptPeriod` of 60 seconds and a maximum `restartAttemptPeriod` of 1800 seconds. By default, a container must run for 300 seconds before it can be restarted.  
Type: Integer  
Required: No
