Provision and Run a Task

with Amazon Fargate

Stand up a cluster and task definition, then run and confirm a Fargate task is RUNNING.

  1. Create the ECS cluster that will host the Fargate task.
  2. Register a FARGATE-compatible task definition with the supplied container.
  3. Run a single task from the registered task definition on Fargate.
  4. Poll DescribeTasks until the started task reaches RUNNING or STOPPED. The loop re-enters this step while the task is still provisioning or pending.
What you'll need to have ready
  • clusterName: Name for the ECS cluster to create.
  • family: Family name for the task definition to register.
  • containerName: Name of the container in the task definition.
  • image: Container image URI (e.g. nginx:latest).
  • cpu: Task-level CPU units for Fargate (e.g. "256").
  • memory: Task-level memory in MiB for Fargate (e.g. "512").
  • executionRoleArn: ARN of the ECS task execution role.
  • subnets: Subnet IDs for the awsvpc network configuration.
  • securityGroups: Security group IDs for the awsvpc network configuration.
  • assignPublicIp: Whether to assign a public IP (ENABLED or DISABLED).
