# ProxyConfiguration
<a name="API_ProxyConfiguration"></a>

The configuration details for the App Mesh proxy.

For tasks that use the EC2 launch type, the container instances require at least version 1.26.0 of the container agent and at least version 1.26.0-1 of the `ecs-init` package to use a proxy configuration. If your container instances are launched from the Amazon ECS optimized AMI 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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-optimized_AMI.html)
