--capacity-providers
(list)
The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of one or more capacity providers. Up to
100
capacity providers can be described in an action.(string)
Syntax:
"string" "string" ...
--include
(list)
Specifies whether or not you want to see the resource tags for the capacity provider. If
TAGS
is specified, the tags are included in the response. If this field is omitted, tags aren’t included in the response.(string)
Syntax:
"string" "string" ...
Where valid values are:
TAGS
--max-results
(integer)
The maximum number of account setting results returned by
DescribeCapacityProviders
in paginated output. When this parameter is used,DescribeCapacityProviders
only returnsmaxResults
results in a single page along with anextToken
response element. The remaining results of the initial request can be seen by sending anotherDescribeCapacityProviders
request with the returnednextToken
value. This value can be between 1 and 10. If this parameter is not used, thenDescribeCapacityProviders
returns up to 10 results and anextToken
value if applicable.
--next-token
(string)
The
nextToken
value returned from a previous paginatedDescribeCapacityProviders
request wheremaxResults
was used and the results exceeded the value of that parameter. Pagination continues from the end of the previous results that returned thenextToken
value.Note
This token should be treated as an opaque identifier that is only used to retrieve the next items in a list and not for other programmatic purposes.
--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.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

For more information, see Cluster capacity providers in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.
Example 2: To describe a specific capacity providers
The following describe-capacity-providers
example retrieves details about a specific capacity provider. Using the --include TAGS
parameter will add the tags associated with the capacity provider to the output.
aws ecs describe-capacity-providers \
--capacity-providers MyCapacityProvider \
--include TAGS
Output:
{
"capacityProviders": [
{
"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": 1000
},
"managedTerminationProtection": "ENABLED"
},
"tags": [
{
"key": "environment",
"value": "production"
}
]
}
]
}
For more information, see Cluster capacity providers in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.
capacityProviders -> (list)
The list of capacity providers.
(structure)
The details for a capacity provider.
capacityProviderArn -> (string)
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the capacity provider.
name -> (string)
The name of the capacity provider.
status -> (string)
The current status of the capacity provider. Only capacity providers in an
ACTIVE
state can be used in a cluster. When a capacity provider is successfully deleted, it has anINACTIVE
status.autoScalingGroupProvider -> (structure)
The Auto Scaling group settings 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)
Determines whether to use 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 to100
. A value of100
results in the Amazon EC2 instances in your Auto Scaling group being completely used.minimumScalingStepSize -> (integer)
The minimum number of container instances that Amazon ECS scales in or scales 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 scales in or scales out at one time. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of
10000
is used.instanceWarmupPeriod -> (integer)
The period of time, in seconds, after a newly launched Amazon EC2 instance can contribute to CloudWatch metrics for Auto Scaling group. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of
300
seconds 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. The default is disabled.
Warning
When using managed termination protection, managed scaling must also be used otherwise managed termination protection doesn’t 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 Auto Scaling User Guide .
When managed termination protection is disabled, your Amazon EC2 instances aren’t protected from termination when the Auto Scaling group scales in.
updateStatus -> (string)
The update status of the capacity provider. The following are the possible states that is returned.
DELETE_IN_PROGRESS
The capacity provider is in the process of being deleted.
DELETE_COMPLETE
The capacity provider was successfully deleted and has an
INACTIVE
status.DELETE_FAILED
The capacity provider can’t be deleted. The update status reason provides further details about why the delete failed.
updateStatusReason -> (string)
The update status reason. This provides further details about the update status for the capacity provider.
tags -> (list)
The metadata that you apply to the capacity provider to help you categorize and organize it. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both.
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 Amazon Web Services 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.(structure)
