 ** condition **   <a name="Batch-Type-TaskContainerDependency-condition"></a>
The dependency condition of the container. The following are the available conditions and their behavior:  
+  `START` - This condition emulates the behavior of links and volumes today. It validates that a dependent container is started before permitting other containers to start. 
+  `COMPLETE` - This condition validates that a dependent container runs to completion (exits) before permitting other containers to start. This can be useful for nonessential containers that run a script and then exit. This condition can't be set on an essential container. 
+  `SUCCESS` - This condition is the same as `COMPLETE`, but it also requires that the container exits with a zero status. This condition can't be set on an essential container.
