update_task_protection

update_task_protection(**kwargs)

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 unsets 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.

Request Syntax

response = client.update_task_protection(
    cluster='string',
    tasks=[
        'string',
    ],
    protectionEnabled=True|False,
    expiresInMinutes=123
)

Parameters

• cluster (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

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

• tasks (list) --

  [REQUIRED]

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

  • (string) --
• protectionEnabled (boolean) --

  [REQUIRED]

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

• expiresInMinutes (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).

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  • protectedTasks (list) --

    A list of tasks with the following information.
