Options

--service-arns (list)

The ARN that identifies the Amazon ECS service.

The following is the format of the ARN:

arn:aws:ecs:region:aws_account_id:service/cluster-name/service-name

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--next-token (string)

The token to advance to the next page of Amazon ECS service recommendations.

--max-results (integer)

The maximum number of Amazon ECS service recommendations to return with a single request.

To retrieve the remaining results, make another request with the returned nextToken value.

--filters (list)

An array of objects to specify a filter that returns a more specific list of Amazon ECS service recommendations.

(structure)

Describes a filter that returns a more specific list of Amazon ECS service recommendations. Use this filter with the GetECSServiceRecommendations action.

name -> (string)

The name of the filter.

Specify Finding to return recommendations with a specific finding classification.

Specify FindingReasonCode to return recommendations with a specific finding reason code.

You can filter your Amazon ECS service recommendations by tag:key and tag-key tags.

A tag:key is a key and value combination of a tag assigned to your Amazon ECS service recommendations. Use the tag key in the filter name and the tag value as the filter value. For example, to find all Amazon ECS service recommendations that have a tag with the key of Owner and the value of TeamA , specify tag:Owner for the filter name and TeamA for the filter value.

A tag-key is the key of a tag assigned to your Amazon ECS service recommendations. Use this filter to find all of your Amazon ECS service recommendations that have a tag with a specific key. This doesn’t consider the tag value. For example, you can find your Amazon ECS service recommendations with a tag key value of Owner or without any tag keys assigned.

values -> (list)

The value of the filter.

The valid values for this parameter are as follows:

• If you specify the name parameter as Finding , specify Optimized , Underprovisioned , or Overprovisioned .
• If you specify the name parameter as FindingReasonCode , specify CPUUnderprovisioned , CPUOverprovisioned , MemoryUnderprovisioned , or MemoryOverprovisioned .

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "name": "Finding"|"FindingReasonCode",
    "values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--account-ids (list)

Return the Amazon ECS service recommendations to the specified Amazon Web Services account IDs.

If your account is the management account or the delegated administrator of an organization, use this parameter to return the Amazon ECS service recommendations to specific member accounts.

You can only specify one account ID per request.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

• TARGET_TRACKING_SCALING_MEMORY — If the Amazon ECS service is configured to use target scaling on memory, Compute Optimizer doesn't generate memory recommendations.

For more information about step scaling and target scaling, see Step scaling policies for Application Auto Scaling and Target tracking scaling policies for Application Auto Scaling in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide .

The following utilization metrics are available:

• Cpu — The amount of CPU capacity that's used in the service.

The Compute Optimizer API, Command Line Interface (CLI), and SDKs return utilization metrics using only the Maximum statistic, which is the highest value observed during the specified period.

The Compute Optimizer console displays graphs for some utilization metrics using the Average statistic, which is the value of Sum / SampleCount during the specified period. For more information, see Viewing resource recommendations in the Compute Optimizer User Guide . You can also get averaged utilization metric data for your resources using Amazon CloudWatch. For more information, see the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .

Findings for Amazon ECS services include:

• **Underprovisioned ** — When Compute Optimizer detects that there’s not enough memory or CPU, an Amazon ECS service is considered under-provisioned. An under-provisioned service might result in poor application performance.
• **Overprovisioned ** — When Compute Optimizer detects that there’s excessive memory or CPU, an Amazon ECS service is considered over-provisioned. An over-provisioned service might result in additional infrastructure costs.
• **Optimized ** — When both the CPU and memory of your Amazon ECS service meet the performance requirements of your workload, the service is considered optimized.

findingReasonCodes -> (list)

The reason for the finding classification of an Amazon ECS service.

Finding reason codes for Amazon ECS services include:

• **CPUUnderprovisioned ** — The service CPU configuration can be sized up to enhance the performance of your workload. This is identified by analyzing the CPUUtilization metric of the current service during the look-back period.
• **CPUOverprovisioned ** — The service CPU configuration can be sized down while still meeting the performance requirements of your workload. This is identified by analyzing the CPUUtilization metric of the current service during the look-back period.
• **MemoryUnderprovisioned ** — The service memory configuration can be sized up to enhance the performance of your workload. This is identified by analyzing the MemoryUtilization metric of the current service during the look-back period.
• **MemoryOverprovisioned ** — The service memory configuration can be sized down while still meeting the performance requirements of your workload. This is identified by analyzing the MemoryUtilization metric of the current service during the look-back period.
