Using the Amazon ECS Task Definition task in Bamboo

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

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

  3. Complete the following settings:
