Amazon Elastic Container Service sample templates (original) (raw)

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a container management service that makes it easy to run, stop, and manage Docker containers on a cluster of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances.

Create a cluster with the AL2023 Amazon ECS-Optimized-AMI

Define a cluster that uses a capacity provider that launches AL2023 instances on Amazon EC2.

Description: >-
  An example service that deploys in AWS VPC networking mode on EC2 capacity.
  Service uses a capacity provider to request EC2 instances to run on. Service
  runs with networking in private subnets, but still accessible to the internet

  PrivateSubnetIds:
    Type: 'List<AWS::EC2::Subnet::Id>'
    Description: List of private subnet ID's that the AWS VPC tasks are in
  ClusterName:
    Type: String

      handle the traffic for this service
  ContainerCpu:
    Type: Number
    Default: 256
    Description: How much CPU to give the container. 1024 is 1 CPU
  ContainerMemory:
    Type: Number
    Default: 512
    Description: How much memory in megabytes to give the container
  ContainerPort:
    Type: Number
    Default: 80
