FargateTaskDefinitionProps Struct ​

The properties for a task definition.

Example ​

ts
// Create a Task Definition for the Windows container to start
const taskDefinition = new ecs.FargateTaskDefinition(this, 'TaskDef', {
  runtimePlatform: {
    operatingSystemFamily: ecs.OperatingSystemFamily.WINDOWS_SERVER_2019_CORE,
    cpuArchitecture: ecs.CpuArchitecture.X86_64,
  },
  cpu: 1024,
  memoryLimitMiB: 2048,
});

taskDefinition.addContainer('windowsservercore', {
  logging: ecs.LogDriver.awsLogs({ streamPrefix: 'win-iis-on-fargate' }),
  portMappings: [{ containerPort: 80 }],
  image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis:windowsservercore-ltsc2019'),
});

Properties ​

cpuoptionalnumbercpuoptionalint | floatcpuoptionalNumberCpuoptionaldoubleCpuoptional*float64= 256#
The number of cpu units used by the task.
notes

For tasks using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values, which determines your range of valid values for the memory parameter:

256 (.25 vCPU) - Available memory values: 512 (0.5 GB), 1024 (1 GB), 2048 (2 GB)

512 (.5 vCPU) - Available memory values: 1024 (1 GB), 2048 (2 GB), 3072 (3 GB), 4096 (4 GB)

1024 (1 vCPU) - Available memory values: 2048 (2 GB), 3072 (3 GB), 4096 (4 GB), 5120 (5 GB), 6144 (6 GB), 7168 (7 GB), 8192 (8 GB)

2048 (2 vCPU) - Available memory values: Between 4096 (4 GB) and 16384 (16 GB) in increments of 1024 (1 GB)

4096 (4 vCPU) - Available memory values: Between 8192 (8 GB) and 30720 (30 GB) in increments of 1024 (1 GB)

8192 (8 vCPU) - Available memory values: Between 16384 (16 GB) and 61440 (60 GB) in increments of 4096 (4 GB)

16384 (16 vCPU) - Available memory values: Between 32768 (32 GB) and 122880 (120 GB) in increments of 8192 (8 GB)

Note: For windows platforms, this field is not enforced at runtime. However, it is still required as it is used to determine the instance type and size that tasks run on.

enableFaultInjectionoptionalbooleanenable_fault_injectionoptionalboolenableFaultInjectionoptionalBooleanEnableFaultInjectionoptionalboolEnableFaultInjectionoptional*bool#
Enables fault injection and allows for fault injection requests to be accepted from the task's containers.

Default: undefined - ECS default setting is false

Fault injection only works with tasks using the {@link NetworkMode.AWS_VPC} or {@link NetworkMode.HOST} network modes.

ephemeralStorageGiBoptionalnumberephemeral_storage_gi_boptionalint | floatephemeralStorageGiBoptionalNumberEphemeralStorageGiBoptionaldoubleEphemeralStorageGiBoptional*float64= 20#
The amount (in GiB) of ephemeral storage to be allocated to the task.

The maximum supported value is 200 GiB.

NOTE: This parameter is only supported for tasks hosted on AWS Fargate using platform version 1.4.0 or later for Linux tasks, and platform version 1.0.0 or later for Windows tasks.

executionRoleoptionalIRoleexecution_roleoptionalIRoleexecutionRoleoptionalIRoleExecutionRoleoptionalIRoleExecutionRoleoptionalIRole#
The name of the IAM task execution role that grants the ECS agent permission to call AWS APIs on your behalf.

Default: An execution role will be automatically created if you use ECR images in your task definition.

The role will be used to retrieve container images from ECR and create CloudWatch log groups.

familyoptionalstringfamilyoptionalstrfamilyoptionalStringFamilyoptionalstringFamilyoptional*string#
The name of a family that this task definition is registered to.

Default: Automatically generated name.

A family groups multiple versions of a task definition.

memoryLimitMiBoptionalnumbermemory_limit_mi_boptionalint | floatmemoryLimitMiBoptionalNumberMemoryLimitMiBoptionaldoubleMemoryLimitMiBoptional*float64= 512#
The amount (in MiB) of memory used by the task.

pidModeoptionalPidModepid_modeoptionalPidModepidModeoptionalPidModePidModeoptionalPidModePidModeoptionalPidMode#
The process namespace to use for the containers in the task.

Default: PidMode used by the task is not specified

notes

Only supported for tasks that are hosted on AWS Fargate if the tasks are using platform version 1.4.0 or later (Linux). Only the TASK option is supported for Linux-based Fargate containers. Not supported in Windows containers. If pidMode is specified for a Fargate task, then runtimePlatform.operatingSystemFamily must also be specified. For more information, see Task Definition Parameters.

The configuration details for the App Mesh proxy.

Default: No proxy configuration.

runtimePlatformoptionalRuntimePlatformruntime_platformoptionalRuntimePlatformruntimePlatformoptionalRuntimePlatformRuntimePlatformoptionalRuntimePlatformRuntimePlatformoptionalRuntimePlatform= Undefined.#
The operating system that your task definitions are running on.

A runtimePlatform is supported only for tasks using the Fargate launch type.

taskRoleoptionalIRoletask_roleoptionalIRoletaskRoleoptionalIRoleTaskRoleoptionalIRoleTaskRoleoptionalIRole#
The name of the IAM role that grants containers in the task permission to call AWS APIs on your behalf.

Default: A task role is automatically created for you.

volumesoptionalVolume[]volumesoptionaltyping.List[Volume]volumesoptionalList<Volume>VolumesoptionalVolume[]Volumesoptional*[]Volume#
The list of volume definitions for the task.

Default: No volumes are passed to the Docker daemon on a container instance.
