create-capacity-provider¶

Description¶

Creates a new capacity provider. Capacity providers are associated with an Amazon ECS cluster and are used in capacity provider strategies to facilitate cluster auto scaling.

Only capacity providers using an Auto Scaling group can be created. Amazon ECS tasks on AWS Fargate use the FARGATE and FARGATE_SPOT capacity providers which are already created and available to all accounts in Regions supported by AWS Fargate.

Synopsis¶

  create-capacity-provider
--name <value>
--auto-scaling-group-provider <value>
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options¶

--name (string)

The name of the capacity provider. Up to 255 characters are allowed, including letters (upper and lowercase), numbers, underscores, and hyphens. The name cannot be prefixed with “aws “, “ecs “, or “fargate “.

--auto-scaling-group-provider (structure)

The details of the Auto Scaling group for the capacity provider.

autoScalingGroupArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the Auto Scaling group.

managedScaling -> (structure)

The managed scaling settings for the Auto Scaling group capacity provider.

status -> (string)

Whether or not to enable managed scaling for the capacity provider.

targetCapacity -> (integer)

The target capacity value for the capacity provider. The specified value must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100 . A value of 100 will result in the Amazon EC2 instances in your Auto Scaling group being completely utilized.

minimumScalingStepSize -> (integer)

The minimum number of container instances that Amazon ECS will scale in or scale out at one time. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of 1 is used.

maximumScalingStepSize -> (integer)

The maximum number of container instances that Amazon ECS will scale in or scale out at one time. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of 10000 is used.

managedTerminationProtection -> (string)

The managed termination protection setting to use for the Auto Scaling group capacity provider. This determines whether the Auto Scaling group has managed termination protection.

Warning

When using managed termination protection, managed scaling must also be used otherwise managed termination protection will not work.

When managed termination protection is enabled, Amazon ECS prevents the Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group that contain tasks from being terminated during a scale-in action. The Auto Scaling group and each instance in the Auto Scaling group must have instance protection from scale-in actions enabled as well. For more information, see Instance Protection in the AWS Auto Scaling User Guide .

When managed termination protection is disabled, your Amazon EC2 instances are not protected from termination when the Auto Scaling group scales in.

Shorthand Syntax:

autoScalingGroupArn=string,managedScaling={status=string,targetCapacity=integer,minimumScalingStepSize=integer,maximumScalingStepSize=integer},managedTerminationProtection=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "autoScalingGroupArn": "string",
  "managedScaling": {
    "status": "ENABLED"|"DISABLED",
    "targetCapacity": integer,
    "minimumScalingStepSize": integer,
    "maximumScalingStepSize": integer
  },
  "managedTerminationProtection": "ENABLED"|"DISABLED"
}

--tags (list)

The metadata that you apply to the capacity provider to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

Maximum number of tags per resource - 50

For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8

Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.

Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.

key -> (string)

One part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

value -> (string)

The optional part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

Shorthand Syntax:

key=string,value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "key": "string",
    "value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To create a capacity provider

The following create-capacity-provider example creates a capacity provider that uses an Auto Scaling group named MyAutoScalingGroup, has managed scaling and managed termination protection enabled. This configuration is used for Amazon ECS cluster auto scaling.

aws ecs create-capacity-provider \
    --name "MyCapacityProvider" \
    --auto-scaling-group-provider autoScalingGroupArn=arn:aws:autoscaling:us-west-2:123456789012:autoScalingGroup:a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111:autoScalingGroupName/MyAutoScalingGroup,managedScaling={status=ENABLED,targetCapacity=100,minimumScalingStepSize=1,maximumScalingStepSize=100},managedTerminationProtection=ENABLED

Output:

{
    "capacityProvider": {
        "capacityProviderArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:capacity-provider/MyCapacityProvider",
        "name": "MyCapacityProvider",
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "autoScalingGroupProvider": {
            "autoScalingGroupArn": "arn:aws:autoscaling:us-west-2:123456789012:autoScalingGroup:a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111:autoScalingGroupName/MyAutoScalingGroup",
            "managedScaling": {
                "status": "ENABLED",
                "targetCapacity": 100,
                "minimumScalingStepSize": 1,
                "maximumScalingStepSize": 100
            },
            "managedTerminationProtection": "ENABLED"
        },
        "tags": []
    }
}
