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

Configuration

Naming Overlap

There is an unfortunate entity naming overlap between Atlassian Bamboo Tasks and Amazon ECS Tasks - rather than adding to the confusion by introducing yet another name, this documentation will refer to an Amazon ECS Task task as needed.

To configure an Amazon ECS Task 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 Task task, or click Add Task and then Amazon ECS Task to create a new task.

  3. Complete the following settings:

    1. Common to all tasks

       Click here to expand...

      Task Description (Optional) Identify the purpose of the task.
      Disable this task

      Check, or clear, to selectively run this task.

      Action

      Each task supports one or more actions depending on the target AWS resource. Select the desired action and configure the action specific parameters below.

      RegionSelect the desired AWS Region. Alternatively, select [Use region variable ...] to supply the region dynamically via Bamboo variables (needs to be a region code such as ap-southeast-2) - refer to How to parametrize the AWS region via a Bamboo variable for details.
      ...Configure task/action specific parameters, see below ...
      AWS Security Credentials 
      SourceSelect the source for the required AWS Security Credentials - can be either Inline, an IAM Role for EC2 or a shared Identity Federation for AWS Connector.
      Connector(Conditional) Select the shared Identity Federation for AWS Connector. Alternatively, select [Use connector variable ...] to supply the connector dynamically via Bamboo variables (needs to be a connector id such as f24e81bc-7aff-42db-86a2-7cf82e24d871) - refer to How to parametrize the AWS connector via a Bamboo variable for details.

    2. Actions supported by this task:

       

      Run Task

      Count(Optional) Specify the number of instances of the specified task that you would like to place on your cluster.
      Overrides(Optional) Specify one or more container overrides in JSON format to send when running a task.

Variables

All tasks support Bamboo Variable Substitution/Definition - this task's actions generate variables as follows:

A task's generated variables might get amended with respective AWS API additions over time - a live build log will always provide the most current variable shape accordingly
