ECS / Client / stop_task

stop_task

ECS.Client.stop_task(**kwargs)

Stops a running task. Any tags associated with the task will be deleted.

When StopTask is called on a task, the equivalent of docker stop is issued to the containers running in the task. This results in a SIGTERM value and a default 30-second timeout, after which the SIGKILL value is sent and the containers are forcibly stopped. If the container handles the SIGTERM value gracefully and exits within 30 seconds from receiving it, no SIGKILL value is sent.

Note

The default 30-second timeout can be configured on the Amazon ECS container agent with the ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT variable. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Request Syntax

response = client.stop_task(
    cluster='string',
    task='string',
    reason='string'
)

Parameters:

• cluster (string) – The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that hosts the task to stop. If you do not specify a cluster, the default cluster is assumed.

• task (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The task ID of the task to stop.

• reason (string) – An optional message specified when a task is stopped. For example, if you’re using a custom scheduler, you can use this parameter to specify the reason for stopping the task here, and the message appears in subsequent DescribeTasks API operations on this task.

Return type:

dict

              The following rules apply when you specify a containerPortRange:

              • You must use either the bridge network mode or the awsvpc network mode.

              • This parameter is available for both the EC2 and Fargate launch types.

              • This parameter is available for both the Linux and Windows operating systems.

              • The container instance must have at least version 1.67.0 of the container agent and at least version 1.67.0-1 of the ecs-init package

              • You can specify a maximum of 100 port ranges per container.

              • You do not specify a hostPortRange. The value of the hostPortRange is set as follows:

                • For containers in a task with the awsvpc network mode, the hostPortRange is set to the same value as the containerPortRange. This is a static mapping strategy.

                • For containers in a task with the bridge network mode, the Amazon ECS agent finds open host ports from the default ephemeral range and passes it to docker to bind them to the container ports.

              • The containerPortRange valid values are between 1 and 65535.

              • A port can only be included in one port mapping per container.

              • You cannot specify overlapping port ranges.

              • The first port in the range must be less than last port in the range.

              • Docker recommends that you turn off the docker-proxy in the Docker daemon config file when you have a large number of ports. For more information, see Issue #11185 on the Github website. For information about how to turn off the docker-proxy in the Docker daemon config file, see Docker daemon in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.

              You can call DescribeTasks to view the hostPortRange which are the host ports that are bound to the container ports.

            • hostPortRange (string) –

              The port number range on the host that’s used with the network binding. This is assigned is assigned by Docker and delivered by the Amazon ECS agent.

    • cpu (string) –

      The number of CPU units used by the task as expressed in a task definition. It can be expressed as an integer using CPU units (for example, 1024). It can also be expressed as a string using vCPUs (for example, 1 vCPU or 1 vcpu). String values are converted to an integer that indicates the CPU units when the task definition is registered.

      If you use the EC2 launch type, this field is optional. Supported values are between 128 CPU units ( 0.125 vCPUs) and 10240 CPU units ( 10 vCPUs).

      If you use the Fargate launch type, this field is required. You must use one of the following values. These values determine the range of supported values for the memory parameter:

      The CPU units cannot be less than 1 vCPU when you use Windows containers on Fargate.

      The Amazon ECS container agent doesn’t monitor or report on Docker health checks that are embedded in a container image and not specified in the container definition. For example, this includes those specified in a parent image or from the image’s Dockerfile. Health check parameters that are specified in a container definition override any Docker health checks that are found in the container image.

      If you use the EC2 launch type, this field is optional.

      If you use the Fargate launch type, this field is required. You must use one of the following values. The value that you choose determines the range of supported values for the cpu parameter.

        One or more container overrides that are sent to a task.

        • (dict) –

          The overrides that are sent to a container. An empty container override can be passed in. An example of an empty container override is {"containerOverrides": [ ] }. If a non-empty container override is specified, the name parameter must be included.

          You can use Secrets Manager or Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Parameter Store to store the sensitive data. For more information, see Retrieve secrets through environment variables in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.

            The environment variables to send to the container. You can add new environment variables, which are added to the container at launch, or you can override the existing environment variables from the Docker image or the task definition. You must also specify a container name.

            • (dict) –

              A key-value pair object.

              • name (string) –

                The name of the key-value pair. For environment variables, this is the name of the environment variable.

              • value (string) –

                The value of the key-value pair. For environment variables, this is the value of the environment variable.

          • environmentFiles (list) –

            A list of files containing the environment variables to pass to a container, instead of the value from the container definition.

            • (dict) –

              A list of files containing the environment variables to pass to a container. You can specify up to ten environment files. The file must have a .env file extension. Each line in an environment file should contain an environment variable in VARIABLE=VALUE format. Lines beginning with # are treated as comments and are ignored.

              If there are environment variables specified using the environment parameter in a container definition, they take precedence over the variables contained within an environment file. If multiple environment files are specified that contain the same variable, they’re processed from the top down. We recommend that you use unique variable names. For more information, see Specifying environment variables in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

    • tags (list) –

      The metadata that you apply to the task to help you categorize and organize the task. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both the key and value.

      The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

      • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50

      • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

      • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8

      • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

      • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

      • Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.

      • Do not use aws:, AWS:, or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for Amazon Web Services use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.
