Containers
-
This object is a list of containers.
Required: No
Type: Array of TaskContainerProperties
Update requires: No interruption
ExecutionRoleArn
-
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution role that AWS Batch can assume. For jobs that run on Fargate resources, you must provide an execution role. For more information, see AWS Batch execution IAM role in the AWS Batch User Guide.
Required: No
Type: String
Update requires: No interruption
IpcMode
-
The IPC resource namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are
host
,task
, ornone
.If
host
is specified, all containers within the tasks that specified thehost
IPC mode on the same container instance share the same IPC resources with the host Amazon EC2 instance.If
task
is specified, all containers within the specifiedtask
share the same IPC resources.If
none
is specified, the IPC resources within the containers of a task are private, and are not shared with other containers in a task or on the container instance.If no value is specified, then the IPC resource namespace sharing depends on the Docker daemon setting on the container instance. For more information, see IPC settings
in the Docker run reference. Required: No
Type: String
Update requires: No interruption
PidMode
-
The process namespace to use for the containers in the task. The valid values are
host
ortask
. For example, monitoring sidecars might needpidMode
to access information about other containers running in the same task.If
host
is specified, all containers within the tasks that specified thehost
PID mode on the same container instance share the process namespace with the host Amazon EC2 instance.If
task
is specified, all containers within the specified task share the same process namespace.If no value is specified, the default is a private namespace for each container. For more information, see PID settings
in the Docker run reference. Required: No
Type: String
Update requires: No interruption
TaskRoleArn
-
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that's associated with the Amazon ECS task.
