We deploy our batch processes to ECS Fargate by pushing a new container, and then forcing a deployment on the service. This does not allow us to do a graceful shutdown in the current running tasks which are working jobs. We do a force deployment because at some point recently, just having the task restart through a container shutdown does not pull a fresh image.. (We are able to signal the current running tasks so they will exit when finished with their workload)

How to connect lambda job with event bridge to trigger an ecs task? I am not sure whether there is a direct integration and if so how to add input and credentials?

Is there an easy way to know if an ECS service is idle? We have a good number of legacy ECS services running in AWS that use almost 0 cpu/memory.

I’m having trouble with the container healthchecks in my ECS deployment.

I’m using ECS with an Auto Scaling group as a capacity provider to deploy tasks on EC2. I’ve set the task placement strategy to binpack based on memory. However, I’ve noticed that ECS always scales up a new EC2 instance to deploy a new task, even if an existing instance has enough CPU and memory available. Consequently, there is only one task per EC2 instance. I expect that all tasks should be placed on a single EC2 instance if it has sufficient memory.

In ECS documentation it says you can scale to zero:

I am trying to create a cluster in AWS Amazon Elastic Container Service, so a clicked on create cluster button, entered “defaut” as name and default namespace and with AWS Fargate (serveless) ticked, and when I click create button, I have the following error message:
There was an error creating cluster default.
Stack [Infra-ECS-Cluster-default-7505d64a] already exists

I was researching how to integrate service logs with splunk and also how to migrate dashboards from another platform to splunk

I have ECS Services running and I want to setup a alert on Task count failure.
That is if during new deployments the container is not stable and Tasks are failing .
I want to generate a Alert Notification if the failure count is more than 5 times.

I see a container in ECS with fargate. How can I add more and how am I able to do this?
