AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . ecs ]

update-task-protection

Description

Updates the protection status of a task. You can set protectionEnabled to true to protect your task from termination during scale-in events from Service Autoscaling or deployments .

Task-protection, by default, expires after 2 hours at which point Amazon ECS clears the protectionEnabled property making the task eligible for termination by a subsequent scale-in event.

You can specify a custom expiration period for task protection from 1 minute to up to 2,880 minutes (48 hours). To specify the custom expiration period, set the expiresInMinutes property. The expiresInMinutes property is always reset when you invoke this operation for a task that already has protectionEnabled set to true . You can keep extending the protection expiration period of a task by invoking this operation repeatedly.

To learn more about Amazon ECS task protection, see Task scale-in protection in the * Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide * .

Note

This operation is only supported for tasks belonging to an Amazon ECS service. Invoking this operation for a standalone task will result in an TASK_NOT_VALID failure. For more information, see API failure reasons .

Warning

If you prefer to set task protection from within the container, we recommend using the Task scale-in protection endpoint .

Options

--cluster (string)

The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that hosts the service that the task sets exist in.

--tasks (list)

A list of up to 10 task IDs or full ARN entries.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--protection-enabled | --no-protection-enabled (boolean)

Specify true to mark a task for protection and false to unset protection, making it eligible for termination.

--expires-in-minutes (integer)

If you set protectionEnabled to true , you can specify the duration for task protection in minutes. You can specify a value from 1 minute to up to 2,880 minutes (48 hours). During this time, your task will not be terminated by scale-in events from Service Auto Scaling or deployments. After this time period lapses, protectionEnabled will be reset to false .

If you don’t specify the time, then the task is automatically protected for 120 minutes (2 hours).

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: Enable task protection for ECS tasks

The following update-task-protection protects your ECS task from termination during scale-in from Deployments or Service AutoScaling. You can specify custom expiration period for task protection from 1 up to 2,880 minutes (48 hours). If you do not specify expiration period, enabling task protection default time is 2 hours.

aws ecs update-task-protection \
    --cluster ECS-project-update-cluster \
    --tasks c43ed3b1331041f289316f958adb6a24 \
    --protection-enabled \
    --expires-in-minutes 300

Output:

{
"protectedTasks": [
    {
        "taskArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:task/c43ed3b1331041f289316f958adb6a24",
        "protectionEnabled": true,
        "expirationDate": "2024-09-14T19:53:36.687000-05:00"
    }
],
"failures": []
}

Example 2: Disable task protection for ECS tasks

The following update-task-protection disables the tasks protected from scale in from Deployments or Service AutoScaling.

aws ecs update-task-protection \
    --cluster ECS-project-update-cluster \
    --tasks c43ed3b1331041f289316f958adb6a24 \
    --no-protection-enabled

Output:

{
    "protectedTasks": [
        {
            "taskArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:task/c43ed3b1331041f289316f958adb6a24",
            "protectionEnabled": false
        }
    ],
    "failures": []
}
