# CreateTaskSet
<a name="API_CreateTaskSet"></a>

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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/deployment-types.html) in the *Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide*.

**Note**  
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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/service-quotas.html) in the *Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide*.

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_CreateTaskSet_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [capacityProviderStrategy](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-capacityProviderStrategy"></a>
The capacity provider strategy to use for the task set.  
A capacity provider strategy consists of one or more capacity providers along with the `base` and `weight` to assign to them. A capacity provider must be associated with the cluster to be used in a capacity provider strategy. The [PutClusterCapacityProviders](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_PutClusterCapacityProviders.html) API is used to associate a capacity provider with a cluster. Only capacity providers with an `ACTIVE` or `UPDATING` status can be used.  
If a `capacityProviderStrategy` is specified, the `launchType` parameter must be omitted. If no `capacityProviderStrategy` or `launchType` is specified, the `defaultCapacityProviderStrategy` for the cluster is used.  
If specifying a capacity provider that uses an Auto Scaling group, the capacity provider must already be created. New capacity providers can be created with the [CreateCapacityProviderProvider](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_CreateCapacityProviderProvider.html)API operation.  
To use a AWS Fargate capacity provider, specify either the `FARGATE` or `FARGATE_SPOT` capacity providers. The AWS Fargate capacity providers are available to all accounts and only need to be associated with a cluster to be used.  
The [PutClusterCapacityProviders](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_PutClusterCapacityProviders.html) API operation is used to update the list of available capacity providers for a cluster after the cluster is created.  
Type: Array of [CapacityProviderStrategyItem](API_CapacityProviderStrategyItem.md) objects  
Required: No

 ** [clientToken](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-clientToken"></a>
An identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. It must be unique and is case sensitive. Up to 36 ASCII characters in the range of 33-126 (inclusive) are allowed.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** [cluster](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-cluster"></a>
The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that hosts the service to create the task set in.  
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** [externalId](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-externalId"></a>
An optional non-unique tag that identifies this task set in external systems. If the task set is associated with a service discovery registry, the tasks in this task set will have the `ECS_TASK_SET_EXTERNAL_ID` AWS Cloud Map attribute set to the provided value.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** [launchType](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-launchType"></a>
The launch type that new tasks in the task set uses. For more information, see [Amazon ECS launch types](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/launch_types.html) in the *Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide*.  
If a `launchType` is specified, the `capacityProviderStrategy` parameter must be omitted.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `EC2 | FARGATE | EXTERNAL | MANAGED_INSTANCES`   
Required: No

 ** [loadBalancers](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-loadBalancers"></a>
A load balancer object representing the load balancer to use with the task set. The supported load balancer types are either an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer.  
Type: Array of [LoadBalancer](API_LoadBalancer.md) objects  
Required: No

 ** [networkConfiguration](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-networkConfiguration"></a>
An object representing the network configuration for a task set.

Type: String  
Required: No

 ** [scale](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-scale"></a>

The metadata that you apply to the task set to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both. When a service is deleted, the tags are deleted.  
The following basic restrictions apply to tags:  
+ Maximum number of tags per resource - 50
+ For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
+ Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8
+ Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8
+ If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: \$1 - = . \$1 : / @.
+ Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.
+ Do not use `aws:`, `AWS:`, or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.
Type: Array of [Tag](API_Tag.md) objects  
Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items.  
Required: No

 ** [taskDefinition](#API_CreateTaskSet_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="ECS-CreateTaskSet-request-taskDefinition"></a>
