update_task_protection

Operation

update_task_protection async

update_task_protection(input: UpdateTaskProtectionInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> UpdateTaskProtectionOutput

Updates the protection status of a task. You can set protectionEnabled to true to protect your task from termination during scale-in events from Service Autoscaling or deployments.

Task-protection, by default, expires after 2 hours at which point Amazon ECS clears the protectionEnabled property making the task eligible for termination by a subsequent scale-in event.

You can specify a custom expiration period for task protection from 1 minute to up to 2,880 minutes (48 hours). To specify the custom expiration period, set the expiresInMinutes property. The expiresInMinutes property is always reset when you invoke this operation for a task that already has protectionEnabled set to true. You can keep extending the protection expiration period of a task by invoking this operation repeatedly.

To learn more about Amazon ECS task protection, see Task scale-in protection in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

Note

This operation is only supported for tasks belonging to an Amazon ECS service. Invoking this operation for a standalone task will result in an TASK_NOT_VALID failure. For more information, see API failure reasons.

Warning: If you prefer to set task protection from within the container, we recommend using the Task scale-in protection endpoint.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input UpdateTaskProtectionInput

An instance of UpdateTaskProtectionInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
UpdateTaskProtectionOutput

An instance of UpdateTaskProtectionOutput.

Input

UpdateTaskProtectionInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for UpdateTaskProtectionInput structure.

Attributes

cluster class-attribute instance-attribute
cluster: str | None = ...

The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that hosts the service that the task sets exist in.

expires_in_minutes class-attribute instance-attribute
expires_in_minutes: int | None = ...

If you set protectionEnabled to true, you can specify the duration for task protection in minutes. You can specify a value from 1 minute to up to 2,880 minutes (48 hours). During this time, your task will not be terminated by scale-in events from Service Auto Scaling or deployments. After this time period lapses, protectionEnabled will be reset to false.

If you don't specify the time, then the task is automatically protected for 120 minutes (2 hours).

protection_enabled class-attribute instance-attribute
protection_enabled: bool = ...

Specify true to mark a task for protection and false to unset protection, making it eligible for termination.

tasks class-attribute instance-attribute
tasks: list[str] | None = ...

A list of up to 10 task IDs or full ARN entries.

Output

UpdateTaskProtectionOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for UpdateTaskProtectionOutput structure.

Attributes

failures class-attribute instance-attribute
failures: list[Failure] | None = ...

Any failures associated with the call.

protected_tasks class-attribute instance-attribute
protected_tasks: list[ProtectedTask] | None = ...

A list of tasks with the following information.

  • taskArn: The task ARN.

  • protectionEnabled: The protection status of the task. If scale-in protection is turned on for a task, the value is true. Otherwise, it is false.

  • expirationDate: The epoch time when protection for the task will expire.

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
