## Properties

- `containerAssociationName`: string (required) — The descriptive name of the container association.

  You can't change the name of a container association after you create it.

- `containerMonitoringConfigurations`: [IResolvable](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.IResolvable.html) | [IResolvable](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.IResolvable.html) | [CfnContainerAssociation.ContainerMonitoringConfigurationProperty](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_networkfirewall.CfnContainerAssociation.ContainerMonitoringConfigurationProperty.html)[] (required) — The monitoring configurations for the container association.

  Each configuration specifies an Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS cluster to monitor and optional attribute filters to narrow which containers are tracked.

  You can't change the container type after creation.
