Errors
For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

The following list includes additional causes for the error:
-
The
RunTaskcould not be processed because you use managed scaling and there is a capacity error because the quota of tasks in thePROVISIONINGper cluster has been reached. For information about the service quotas, see Amazon ECS service quotas.
HTTP Status Code: 400
-
- ClusterNotFoundException
-
The specified cluster wasn't found. You can view your available clusters with ListClusters. Amazon ECS clusters are Region specific.
HTTP Status Code: 400

HTTP Status Code: 400
- ServerException

Examples
In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents
(AUTHPARAMS) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4
signature. For more information, see Signature
Version 4 Signing Process in the
AWS General
Reference.
You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to
create them manually. When you use the AWS Command Line Interface
Example
This example request provides descriptive information about a task with an ID
of 1dc5c17a-422b-4dc4-b493-371970c6c4d6 in the default
