memory

The amount of memory (in MiB) used by the task. It can be expressed as an integer using MiB (for example ,1024) or as a string using GB (for example, 1GB or 1 GB) in a task definition. String values are converted to an integer indicating the MiB when the task definition is registered.

Task-level CPU and memory parameters are ignored for Windows containers. We recommend specifying container-level resources for Windows containers.

If using the EC2 launch type, this field is optional.

If using the Fargate launch type, this field is required and you must use one of the following values. This determines your range of supported values for the cpu parameter.

The CPU units cannot be less than 1 vCPU when you use Windows containers on Fargate.
