UpdateServiceRequest Class | AWS SDK for .NET V3

Container for the parameters to the UpdateService operation. Modifies the parameters of a service.

On March 21, 2024, a change was made to resolve the task definition revision before authorization. When a task definition revision is not specified, authorization will occur using the latest revision of a task definition.

For services using the rolling update (ECS) you can update the desired count, deployment configuration, network configuration, load balancers, service registries, enable ECS managed tags option, propagate tags option, task placement constraints and strategies, and task definition. When you update any of these parameters, Amazon ECS starts new tasks with the new configuration.

You can attach Amazon EBS volumes to Amazon ECS tasks by configuring the volume when starting or running a task, or when creating or updating a service. For more infomation, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. You can update your volume configurations and trigger a new deployment. volumeConfigurations is only supported for REPLICA service and not DAEMON service. If you leave volumeConfigurationsnull, it doesn't trigger a new deployment. For more infomation on volumes, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

For services using the blue/green (CODE_DEPLOY) deployment controller, only the desired count, deployment configuration, health check grace period, task placement constraints and strategies, enable ECS managed tags option, and propagate tags can be updated using this API. If the network configuration, platform version, task definition, or load balancer need to be updated, create a new CodeDeploy deployment. For more information, see CreateDeployment in the CodeDeploy API Reference.

For services using an external deployment controller, you can update only the desired count, task placement constraints and strategies, health check grace period, enable ECS managed tags option, and propagate tags option, using this API. If the launch type, load balancer, network configuration, platform version, or task definition need to be updated, create a new task set For more information, see CreateTaskSet.

You can add to or subtract from the number of instantiations of a task definition in a service by specifying the cluster that the service is running in and a new desiredCount parameter.

If you have updated the container image of your application, you can create a new task definition with that image and deploy it to your service. The service scheduler uses the minimum healthy percent and maximum percent parameters (in the service's deployment configuration) to determine the deployment strategy.

If your updated Docker image uses the same tag as what is in the existing task definition for your service (for example, my_image:latest), you don't need to create a new revision of your task definition. You can update the service using the forceNewDeployment option. The new tasks launched by the deployment pull the current image/tag combination from your repository when they start.

You can also update the deployment configuration of a service. When a deployment is triggered by updating the task definition of a service, the service scheduler uses the deployment configuration parameters, minimumHealthyPercent and maximumPercent, to determine the deployment strategy.

If minimumHealthyPercent is below 100%, the scheduler can ignore desiredCount temporarily during a deployment. For example, if desiredCount is four tasks, a minimum of 50% allows the scheduler to stop two existing tasks before starting two new tasks. Tasks for services that don't use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state. Tasks for services that use a load balancer are considered healthy if they're in the RUNNING state and are reported as healthy by the load balancer.
The maximumPercent parameter represents an upper limit on the number of running tasks during a deployment. You can use it to define the deployment batch size. For example, if desiredCount is four tasks, a maximum of 200% starts four new tasks before stopping the four older tasks (provided that the cluster resources required to do this are available).

When UpdateService stops a task during a deployment, the equivalent of docker stop is issued to the containers running in the task. This results in a SIGTERM and a 30-second timeout. After this, SIGKILL is sent and the containers are forcibly stopped. If the container handles the SIGTERM gracefully and exits within 30 seconds from receiving it, no SIGKILL is sent.

When the service scheduler launches new tasks, it determines task placement in your cluster with the following logic.

Determine which of the container instances in your cluster can support your service's task definition. For example, they have the required CPU, memory, ports, and container instance attributes.
By default, the service scheduler attempts to balance tasks across Availability Zones in this manner even though you can choose a different placement strategy.
- Sort the valid container instances by the fewest number of running tasks for this service in the same Availability Zone as the instance. For example, if zone A has one running service task and zones B and C each have zero, valid container instances in either zone B or C are considered optimal for placement.
- Place the new service task on a valid container instance in an optimal Availability Zone (based on the previous steps), favoring container instances with the fewest number of running tasks for this service.

When the service scheduler stops running tasks, it attempts to maintain balance across the Availability Zones in your cluster using the following logic:

Sort the container instances by the largest number of running tasks for this service in the same Availability Zone as the instance. For example, if zone A has one running service task and zones B and C each have two, container instances in either zone B or C are considered optimal for termination.
Stop the task on a container instance in an optimal Availability Zone (based on the previous steps), favoring container instances with the largest number of running tasks for this service.

You must have a service-linked role when you update any of the following service properties:

loadBalancers,
serviceRegistries

For more information about the role see the CreateService request parameter role.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
CapacityProviderStrategy	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.ECS.Model.CapacityProviderStrategyItem>	Gets and sets the property CapacityProviderStrategy. The capacity provider strategy to update the service to use. if the service uses the default capacity provider strategy for the cluster, the service can be updated to use one or more capacity providers as opposed to the default capacity provider strategy. However, when a service is using a capacity provider strategy that's not the default capacity provider strategy, the service can't be updated to use the cluster's default capacity provider strategy. A capacity provider strategy consists of one or more capacity providers along with the `base` and `weight` to assign to them. A capacity provider must be associated with the cluster to be used in a capacity provider strategy. The PutClusterCapacityProviders API is used to associate a capacity provider with a cluster. Only capacity providers with an `ACTIVE` or `UPDATING` status can be used. If specifying a capacity provider that uses an Auto Scaling group, the capacity provider must already be created. New capacity providers can be created with the CreateCapacityProvider API operation. To use a Fargate capacity provider, specify either the `FARGATE` or `FARGATE_SPOT` capacity providers. The Fargate capacity providers are available to all accounts and only need to be associated with a cluster to be used. The PutClusterCapacityProviders API operation is used to update the list of available capacity providers for a cluster after the cluster is created.
Cluster	System.String	Gets and sets the property Cluster. The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that your service runs on. If you do not specify a cluster, the default cluster is assumed.
DeploymentConfiguration	Amazon.ECS.Model.DeploymentConfiguration	Gets and sets the property DeploymentConfiguration. Optional deployment parameters that control how many tasks run during the deployment and the ordering of stopping and starting tasks.
DesiredCount	System.Int32	Gets and sets the property DesiredCount. The number of instantiations of the task to place and keep running in your service.
EnableECSManagedTags	System.Boolean	Gets and sets the property EnableECSManagedTags. Determines whether to turn on 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. Only tasks launched after the update will reflect the update. To update the tags on all tasks, set `forceNewDeployment` to `true`, so that Amazon ECS starts new tasks with the updated tags.
EnableExecuteCommand	System.Boolean	Gets and sets the property EnableExecuteCommand. If `true`, this enables execute command functionality on all task containers. If you do not want to override the value that was set when the service was created, you can set this to `null` when performing this action.
ForceNewDeployment	System.Boolean	Gets and sets the property ForceNewDeployment. Determines whether to force a new deployment of the service. By default, deployments aren't forced. You can use this option to start a new deployment with no service definition changes. For example, you can update a service's tasks to use a newer Docker image with the same image/tag combination (`my_image:latest`) or to roll Fargate tasks onto a newer platform version.
HealthCheckGracePeriodSeconds	System.Int32	Gets and sets the property 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. This is only valid if your service is configured to use a load balancer. If your service's tasks take a while to start and respond to Elastic Load Balancing health checks, you can specify a health check grace period of up to 2,147,483,647 seconds. During that time, the Amazon ECS service scheduler ignores the Elastic Load Balancing health check status. This grace period can prevent the ECS service scheduler from marking tasks as unhealthy and stopping them before they have time to come up.
LoadBalancers	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.ECS.Model.LoadBalancer>	Gets and sets the property 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. When you add, update, or remove a load balancer configuration, Amazon ECS starts new tasks with the updated Elastic Load Balancing configuration, and then stops the old tasks when the new tasks are running. For services that use rolling updates, you can add, update, or remove Elastic Load Balancing target groups. You can update from a single target group to multiple target groups and from multiple target groups to a single target group. For services that use blue/green deployments, you can update Elastic Load Balancing target groups by using `CreateDeployment` through CodeDeploy. Note that multiple target groups are not supported for blue/green deployments. For more information see Register multiple target groups with a service in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. For services that use the external deployment controller, you can add, update, or remove load balancers by using CreateTaskSet. Note that multiple target groups are not supported for external deployments. For more information see Register multiple target groups with a service in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide. You can remove existing `loadBalancers` by passing an empty list.
NetworkConfiguration	Amazon.ECS.Model.NetworkConfiguration	Gets and sets the property NetworkConfiguration. An object representing the network configuration for the service.
PlacementConstraints	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.ECS.Model.PlacementConstraint>	Gets and sets the property PlacementConstraints. An array of task placement constraint objects to update the service to use. If no value is specified, the existing placement constraints for the service will remain unchanged. If this value is specified, it will override any existing placement constraints defined for the service. To remove all existing placement constraints, specify an empty array. You can specify a maximum of 10 constraints for each task. This limit includes constraints in the task definition and those specified at runtime.
PlacementStrategy	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.ECS.Model.PlacementStrategy>	Gets and sets the property PlacementStrategy. The task placement strategy objects to update the service to use. If no value is specified, the existing placement strategy for the service will remain unchanged. If this value is specified, it will override the existing placement strategy defined for the service. To remove an existing placement strategy, specify an empty object. You can specify a maximum of five strategy rules for each service.
PlatformVersion	System.String	Gets and sets the property PlatformVersion. The platform version that your tasks in the service run on. A platform version is only specified for tasks using the Fargate launch type. If a platform version is not specified, the `LATEST` platform version is used. For more information, see Fargate Platform Versions in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
PropagateTags	Amazon.ECS.PropagateTags	Gets and sets the property 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. Only tasks launched after the update will reflect the update. To update the tags on all tasks, set `forceNewDeployment` to `true`, so that Amazon ECS starts new tasks with the updated tags.
Service	System.String	Gets and sets the property Service. The name of the service to update.
ServiceConnectConfiguration	Amazon.ECS.Model.ServiceConnectConfiguration	Gets and sets the property ServiceConnectConfiguration. The configuration for this service to discover and connect to services, and be discovered by, and connected from, other services within a namespace. Tasks that run in a namespace can use short names to connect to services in the namespace. Tasks can connect to services across all of the clusters in the namespace. Tasks connect through a managed proxy container that collects logs and metrics for increased visibility. Only the tasks that Amazon ECS services create are supported with Service Connect. For more information, see Service Connect in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
ServiceRegistries	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.ECS.Model.ServiceRegistry>	Gets and sets the property ServiceRegistries. The details for the service discovery registries to assign to this service. For more information, see Service Discovery. When you add, update, or remove the service registries configuration, Amazon ECS starts new tasks with the updated service registries configuration, and then stops the old tasks when the new tasks are running. You can remove existing `serviceRegistries` by passing an empty list.
TaskDefinition	System.String	Gets and sets the property TaskDefinition. The `family` and `revision` (`family:revision`) or full ARN of the task definition to run in your service. If a `revision` is not specified, the latest `ACTIVE` revision is used. If you modify the task definition with `UpdateService`, Amazon ECS spawns a task with the new version of the task definition and then stops an old task after the new version is running.
VolumeConfigurations	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.ECS.Model.ServiceVolumeConfiguration>	Gets and sets the property VolumeConfigurations. The details of the volume that was `configuredAtLaunch`. You can configure the size, volumeType, IOPS, throughput, snapshot and encryption in ServiceManagedEBSVolumeConfiguration. The `name` of the volume must match the `name` from the task definition. If set to null, no new deployment is triggered. Otherwise, if this configuration differs from the existing one, it triggers a new deployment.

Examples

This example updates the my-http-service service to use the amazon-ecs-sample task definition.

To change the task definition used in a service


var client = new AmazonECSClient();
var response = client.UpdateService(new UpdateServiceRequest 
{
    Service = "my-http-service",
    TaskDefinition = "amazon-ecs-sample"
});

This example updates the desired count of the my-http-service service to 10.

To change the number of tasks in a service


var client = new AmazonECSClient();
var response = client.UpdateService(new UpdateServiceRequest 
{
    DesiredCount = 10,
    Service = "my-http-service"
});
