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 Definition task:

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

Complete the following settings:

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
