Required: No

deploymentConfiguration

Optional deployment parameters that control how many tasks run during the deployment and the ordering of stopping and starting tasks.

The deployment controller type the service is using.

Type: DeploymentController object

Required: No

deployments

The current state of deployments for the service.

Type: Array of Deployment objects

desiredCount

The desired number of instantiations of the task definition to keep running on the service. This value is specified when the service is created with CreateService, and it can be modified with UpdateService.

Type: Integer

Required: No

enableECSManagedTags

Determines whether to use Amazon ECS managed tags for the tasks in the service. For more information, see Tagging Your Amazon ECS Resources in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

enableExecuteCommand

Determines whether the execute command functionality is turned on for the service. If true, the execute command functionality is turned on for all containers in tasks as part of the service.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

events

The event stream for your service. A maximum of 100 of the latest events are displayed.

Type: Array of ServiceEvent objects

Required: No

healthCheckGracePeriodSeconds

The period of time, in seconds, that the Amazon ECS service scheduler ignores unhealthy Elastic Load Balancing target health checks after a task has first started.

Type: Integer

Required: No

launchType

The launch type the service is using. When using the DescribeServices API, this field is omitted if the service was created using a capacity provider strategy.

Type: String

Valid Values: EC2 | FARGATE | EXTERNAL

Required: No

loadBalancers

A list of Elastic Load Balancing load balancer objects. It contains the load balancer name, the container name, and the container port to access from the load balancer. The container name is as it appears in a container definition.

Type: Array of LoadBalancer objects

Required: No

networkConfiguration

The VPC subnet and security group configuration for tasks that receive their own elastic network interface by using the awsvpc networking mode.

Type: NetworkConfiguration object

Required: No

pendingCount

The number of tasks in the cluster that are in the PENDING state.

Type: Integer

Required: No

placementConstraints

The placement constraints for the tasks in the service.

Type: Array of PlacementConstraint objects

Required: No

placementStrategy

The placement strategy that determines how tasks for the service are placed.

Type: Array of PlacementStrategy objects

Required: No

platformFamily

The operating system that your tasks in the service run on. A platform family is specified only for tasks using the Fargate launch type.

All tasks that run as part of this service must use the same platformFamily value as the service (for example, LINUX).

Type: String

Required: No

platformVersion

The platform version to run your service on. A platform version is only specified for tasks that are hosted on AWS Fargate. If one isn't specified, the LATEST platform version is used. For more information, see AWS Fargate Platform Versions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Type: String

Required: No

propagateTags

Determines whether to propagate the tags from the task definition or the service to the task. If no value is specified, the tags aren't propagated.

Type: String

Valid Values: TASK_DEFINITION | SERVICE | NONE

Required: No

roleArn

The ARN of the IAM role that's associated with the service. It allows the Amazon ECS container agent to register container instances with an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer.

Type: String

Required: No

runningCount

The number of tasks in the cluster that are in the RUNNING state.

Type: Integer

Required: No

schedulingStrategy

The scheduling strategy to use for the service. For more information, see Services.

There are two service scheduler strategies available.

  • REPLICA-The replica scheduling strategy places and maintains the desired number of tasks across your cluster. By default, the service scheduler spreads tasks across Availability Zones. You can use task placement strategies and constraints to customize task placement decisions.

  • DAEMON-The daemon scheduling strategy deploys exactly one task on each active container instance. This task meets all of the task placement constraints that you specify in your cluster. The service scheduler also evaluates the task placement constraints for running tasks. It stop tasks that don't meet the placement constraints.

    Note

    Fargate tasks don't support the DAEMON scheduling strategy.

Type: String

Valid Values: REPLICA | DAEMON

Required: No

serviceArn

The ARN that identifies the service. For more information about the ARN format, see Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.

Type: String

Required: No

serviceName

The name of your service. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, underscores, and hyphens are allowed. Service names must be unique within a cluster. However, you can have similarly named services in multiple clusters within a Region or across multiple Regions.

Type: String

Required: No

serviceRegistries

The details for the service discovery registries to assign to this service. For more information, see Service Discovery.

Type: Array of ServiceRegistry objects

Required: No

status

The status of the service. The valid values are ACTIVE, DRAINING, or INACTIVE.

Type: String

Required: No

tags

The metadata that you apply to the service to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define bot the key and value.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

  • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50

  • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

  • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8

  • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

  • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

  • Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.

  • Do not use aws:, AWS:, or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items.

Required: No

taskDefinition

The task definition to use for tasks in the service. This value is specified when the service is created with CreateService, and it can be modified with UpdateService.

Type: String

Required: No

taskSets

Information about a set of Amazon ECS tasks in either an AWS CodeDeploy or an EXTERNAL deployment. An Amazon ECS task set includes details such as the desired number of tasks, how many tasks are running, and whether the task set serves production traffic.

Type: Array of TaskSet objects

Required: No
