(list)
A load balancer object representing the load balancer to use with the task set. The supported load balancer types are either an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer.
(structure)
The load balancer configuration to use with a service or task set.
For specific notes and restrictions regarding the use of load balancers with services and task sets, see the CreateService and CreateTaskSet actions.
When you add, update, or remove a load balancer configuration, Amazon ECS starts a new deployment with the updated Elastic Load Balancing configuration. This causes tasks to register to and deregister from load balancers.
We recommend that you verify this on a test environment before you update the Elastic Load Balancing configuration.
A service-linked role is required for services that use multiple target groups. For more information, see Using service-linked roles in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
targetGroupArn -> (string)
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Elastic Load Balancing target group or groups associated with a service or task set.

For services using the
ECS
deployment controller, you can specify one or multiple target groups. For more information, see Registering multiple target groups with a service in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .For services using the
CODE_DEPLOY
deployment controller, you’re required to define two target groups for the load balancer. For more information, see Blue/green deployment with CodeDeploy in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .Warning
If your service’s task definition uses the
awsvpc
network mode, you must chooseip
as the target type, notinstance
. Do this when creating your target groups because tasks that use theawsvpc
network mode are associated with an elastic network interface, not an Amazon EC2 instance. This network mode is required for the Fargate launch type.loadBalancerName -> (string)

--capacity-provider-strategy
(list)
The capacity provider strategy to use for the task set.
A capacity provider strategy consists of one or more capacity providers along with the
base
andweight
to assign to them. A capacity provider must be associated with the cluster to be used in a capacity provider strategy. The PutClusterCapacityProviders API is used to associate a capacity provider with a cluster. Only capacity providers with anACTIVE
orUPDATING
status can be used.If a
capacityProviderStrategy
is specified, thelaunchType
parameter must be omitted. If nocapacityProviderStrategy
orlaunchType
is specified, thedefaultCapacityProviderStrategy
for the cluster is used.If specifying a capacity provider that uses an Auto Scaling group, the capacity provider must already be created. New capacity providers can be created with the CreateCapacityProvider API operation.
To use a Fargate capacity provider, specify either the
FARGATE
orFARGATE_SPOT
capacity providers. The Fargate capacity providers are available to all accounts and only need to be associated with a cluster to be used.The PutClusterCapacityProviders API operation is used to update the list of available capacity providers for a cluster after the cluster is created.
(structure)
The details of a capacity provider strategy. A capacity provider strategy can be set when using the RunTask or CreateCluster APIs or as the default capacity provider strategy for a cluster with the CreateCluster API.
Only capacity providers that are already associated with a cluster and have an
ACTIVE
orUPDATING
status can be used in a capacity provider strategy. The PutClusterCapacityProviders API is used to associate a capacity provider with a cluster.If specifying a capacity provider that uses an Auto Scaling group, the capacity provider must already be created. New Auto Scaling group capacity providers can be created with the CreateCapacityProvider API operation.
To use a Fargate capacity provider, specify either the
FARGATE
orFARGATE_SPOT
capacity providers. The Fargate capacity providers are available to all accounts and only need to be associated with a cluster to be used in a capacity provider strategy.A capacity provider strategy may contain a maximum of 6 capacity providers.
capacityProvider -> (string)
The short name of the capacity provider.
weight -> (integer)
The weight value designates the relative percentage of the total number of tasks launched that should use the specified capacity provider. The
weight
value is taken into consideration after thebase
value, if defined, is satisfied.If no
weight
value is specified, the default value of0
is used. When multiple capacity providers are specified within a capacity provider strategy, at least one of the capacity providers must have a weight value greater than zero and any capacity providers with a weight of0
can’t be used to place tasks. If you specify multiple capacity providers in a strategy that all have a weight of0
, anyRunTask
orCreateService
actions using the capacity provider strategy will fail.An example scenario for using weights is defining a strategy that contains two capacity providers and both have a weight of
1
, then when thebase
is satisfied, the tasks will be split evenly across the two capacity providers. Using that same logic, if you specify a weight of1
for capacityProviderA and a weight of4
for capacityProviderB , then for every one task that’s run using capacityProviderA , four tasks would use capacityProviderB .base -> (integer)
The base value designates how many tasks, at a minimum, to run on the specified capacity provider. Only one capacity provider in a capacity provider strategy can have a base defined. If no value is specified, the default value of
0
is used.

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

Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.
Do not use
aws:

(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.
