Using the Amazon ECS Cluster task in Bamboo

You can use the Amazon ECS Cluster task to create or delete an Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) cluster (see Deploying to Amazon ECS for an overview of the ECS component lifecycle and deployment workflow).

 

Configuration

Cluster Management

While useful for end to end automation and test scenarios, it is quite common to create ECS Clusters e.g. via the AWS Management Console upfront and only manage ECS Task Definitions, Tasks and Services from your build and deployment projects.

To configure an Amazon ECS Cluster task:

  1. Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).

  2. Click the name of an existing Amazon ECS Cluster task, or click Add Task and then Amazon ECS Cluster to create a new task.

  3. Complete the following settings:

    1. Common to all tasks

    2. Actions supported by this task:
