# VolumeFrom

The details on a data volume from another container in the same task definition.

- Source: [`aws-ecs/lib/container-definition.ts`](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/v2.275.0/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-ecs/lib/container-definition.ts#L1584)

## Example

```ts
// The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
// The values are placeholders you should change.
import { aws_ecs as ecs } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
const volumeFrom: ecs.VolumeFrom = {
  readOnly: false,
  sourceContainer: 'sourceContainer',
};
```

## Properties

- `readOnly`: boolean (required) — Specifies whether the container has read-only access to the volume.

  If this value is true, the container has read-only access to the volume.
  If this value is false, then the container can write to the volume.

- `sourceContainer`: string (required) — The name of another container within the same task definition from which to mount volumes.
