Description
Starts a new task from the specified task definition on the specified container instance or instances.
Alternatively, you can use RunTask to place tasks for you. For more information, see Scheduling Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
Parameters
-AwsvpcConfiguration_AssignPublicIp <AssignPublicIp>
Whether the task's elastic network interface receives a public IP address. The default value is
DISABLED. | Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-AwsvpcConfiguration_SecurityGroup <String[]>
The security groups associated with the task or service. If you do not specify a security group, the default security group for the VPC is used. There is a limit of 5 security groups able to be specified per
AwsVpcConfiguration.All specified security groups must be from the same VPC. | Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-AwsvpcConfiguration_Subnet <String[]>
The subnets associated with the task or service. There is a limit of 10 subnets able to be specified per
AwsVpcConfiguration.All specified subnets must be from the same VPC. | Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Cluster <String>
The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster on which to start your task. If you do not specify a cluster, the default cluster is assumed.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | 1 |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByValue, ) |
-ContainerInstance <String[]>
The container instance IDs or full ARN entries for the container instances on which you would like to place your task. You can specify up to 10 container instances.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Group <String>
The name of the task group to associate with the task. The default value is the family name of the task definition (for example, family:my-family-name).
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Overrides_ContainerOverride <ContainerOverride[]>
One or more container overrides sent to a task.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Overrides_ExecutionRoleArn <String>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution role that the Amazon ECS container agent and the Docker daemon can assume.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Overrides_TaskRoleArn <String>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that containers in this task can assume. All containers in this task are granted the permissions that are specified in this role.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-StartedBy <String>
An optional tag specified when a task is started. For example if you automatically trigger a task to run a batch process job, you could apply a unique identifier for that job to your task with the
startedBy parameter. You can then identify which tasks belong to that job by filtering the results of a ListTasks call with the startedBy value. Up to 36 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.If a task is started by an Amazon ECS service, then the startedBy parameter contains the deployment ID of the service that starts it. | Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-TaskDefinition <String>
The
family and revision (family:revision) or full ARN of the task definition to start. If a revision is not specified, the latest ACTIVE revision is used. | Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
Common Credential and Region Parameters
-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key
if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information,
and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)
If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.
If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.
As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing
credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential
file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also
specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with
the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile.
Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the
configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the
user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key
if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based
credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Region <String>
The system name of the AWS region in which the operation should be invoked. For example, us-east-1, eu-west-1 etc.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.
Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
Inputs
You can pipe a String object to this cmdlet for the Cluster parameter.
Outputs
This cmdlet returns a Amazon.ECS.Model.StartTaskResponse object containing multiple properties. The object can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.
