ECS Task Placement Strategies

2023-02-17T06:36:28+00:00

A task placement strategy is an algorithm for selecting instances for task placement or tasks for termination. When a task that uses the EC2 launch type is launched, Amazon ECS must determine where to place the task based on the requirements specified in the task definition, such as CPU and memory. Similarly, when you scale down the task count, Amazon ECS must determine which tasks to terminate.  A task placement constraint is a rule that is considered during task placement. You can use constraints to place tasks based on Availability Zone or instance type.  You can also associate attributes, which [...]

Bookmarks When to Use SAM Overview of Syntax Commonly Used SAM CLI Commands Controlling Access to APIs AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) Cheat Sheet AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) is an open-source framework for building serverless applications. It provides a shorthand syntax to express functions, APIs, databases, and event source mappings. It is an extension of AWS CloudFormation, meaning any resource declared in a SAM template is transformed into standard CloudFormation resources during deployment. You create a JSON or YAML configuration template to model your applications.  During deployment, SAM transforms and expands [...]
