list_task_definition_families

list_task_definition_families(**kwargs)

Returns a list of task definition families that are registered to your account. This list includes task definition families that no longer have any ACTIVE task definition revisions.

You can filter out task definition families that don't contain any ACTIVE task definition revisions by setting the status parameter to ACTIVE . You can also filter the results with the familyPrefix parameter.

Request Syntax

response = client.list_task_definition_families(
    familyPrefix='string',
    status='ACTIVE'|'INACTIVE'|'ALL',
    nextToken='string',
    maxResults=123
)

Parameters

• familyPrefix (string) -- The familyPrefix is a string that's used to filter the results of ListTaskDefinitionFamilies . If you specify a familyPrefix , only task definition family names that begin with the familyPrefix string are returned.
• status (string) -- The task definition family status to filter the ListTaskDefinitionFamilies results with. By default, both ACTIVE and INACTIVE task definition families are listed. If this parameter is set to ACTIVE , only task definition families that have an ACTIVE task definition revision are returned. If this parameter is set to INACTIVE , only task definition families that do not have any ACTIVE task definition revisions are returned. If you paginate the resulting output, be sure to keep the status value constant in each subsequent request.
• nextToken (string) --

  The nextToken value returned from a ListTaskDefinitionFamilies request indicating that more results are available to fulfill the request and further calls will be needed. If maxResults was provided, it is possible the number of results to be fewer than maxResults .

  Note

  This token should be treated as an opaque identifier that is only used to retrieve the next items in a list and not for other programmatic purposes.

• maxResults (integer) -- The maximum number of task definition family results that ListTaskDefinitionFamilies returned in paginated output. When this parameter is used, ListTaskDefinitions only returns maxResults results in a single page along with a nextToken response element. The remaining results of the initial request can be seen by sending another ListTaskDefinitionFamilies request with the returned nextToken value. This value can be between 1 and 100. If this parameter isn't used, then ListTaskDefinitionFamilies returns up to 100 results and a nextToken value if applicable.

Response Syntax

{

        'string',
    ],
    'nextToken': 'string'
}

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  • families (list) --

    The list of task definition family names that match the ListTaskDefinitionFamilies request.

    • (string) --

  • nextToken (string) --

    The nextToken value to include in a future ListTaskDefinitionFamilies request. When the results of a ListTaskDefinitionFamilies request exceed maxResults , this value can be used to retrieve the next page of results. This value is null when there are no more results to return.

Exceptions

• ECS.Client.exceptions.ServerException
• ECS.Client.exceptions.ClientException
• ECS.Client.exceptions.InvalidParameterException

Examples

This example lists all of your registered task definition families.

response = client.list_task_definition_families(
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'families': [
        'node-js-app',
        'web-timer',
        'hpcc',
        'hpcc-c4-8xlarge',
    ],
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}

This example lists the task definition revisions that start with "hpcc".

response = client.list_task_definition_families(
    familyPrefix='hpcc',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'families': [
        'hpcc',
        'hpcc-c4-8xlarge',
    ],
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
