Stopping an Amazon ECS task - Amazon Elastic Container Service

Stopping an Amazon ECS task

If you no longer need to keep a standalone task running, you can stop the task. The Amazon ECS console makes it easy to stop one or more tasks.

You can't restart a standalone stopped task.

If you want to stop a service, see Deleting an Amazon ECS service using the console.
