create_capacity_provider#

ECS.Client.create_capacity_provider(**kwargs)#

Creates a new capacity provider. Capacity providers are associated with an Amazon ECS cluster and are used in capacity provider strategies to facilitate cluster auto scaling.

Only capacity providers that use an Auto Scaling group can be created. Amazon ECS tasks on Fargate use the FARGATE and FARGATE_SPOT capacity providers. These providers are available to all accounts in the Amazon Web Services Regions that Fargate supports.

    ]
)
Parameters:
  • name (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the capacity provider. Up to 255 characters are allowed. They include letters (both upper and lowercase letters), numbers, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The name can’t be prefixed with “ aws”, “ ecs”, or “ fargate”.

  • autoScalingGroupProvider (dict) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The details of the Auto Scaling group for the capacity provider.

    • autoScalingGroupArn (string) – [REQUIRED]

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the Auto Scaling group, or the Auto Scaling group name.

    • managedScaling (dict) –

      The managed scaling settings for the Auto Scaling group capacity provider.

      • status (string) –

        Determines whether to use managed scaling for the capacity provider.

      • targetCapacity (integer) –

        The target capacity utilization as a percentage for the capacity provider. The specified value must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100. For example, if you want the capacity provider to maintain 10% spare capacity, then that means the utilization is 90%, so use a targetCapacity of 90. The default value of 100 percent results in the Amazon EC2 instances in your Auto Scaling group being completely used.

      • minimumScalingStepSize (integer) –

        The minimum number of Amazon EC2 instances that Amazon ECS will scale out at one time. The scale in process is not affected by this parameter If this parameter is omitted, the default value of 1 is used.

        When additional capacity is required, Amazon ECS will scale up the minimum scaling step size even if the actual demand is less than the minimum scaling step size.

        If you use a capacity provider with an Auto Scaling group configured with more than one Amazon EC2 instance type or Availability Zone, Amazon ECS will scale up by the exact minimum scaling step size value and will ignore both the maximum scaling step size as well as the capacity demand.

      • maximumScalingStepSize (integer) –

        The maximum number of Amazon EC2 instances that Amazon ECS will scale out at one time. The scale in process is not affected by this parameter. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of 10000 is used.

      • instanceWarmupPeriod (integer) –

        The period of time, in seconds, after a newly launched Amazon EC2 instance can contribute to CloudWatch metrics for Auto Scaling group. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of 300 seconds is used.

    • managedTerminationProtection (string) –

      The managed termination protection setting to use for the Auto Scaling group capacity provider. This determines whether the Auto Scaling group has managed termination protection. The default is off.

      Warning

      When using managed termination protection, managed scaling must also be used otherwise managed termination protection doesn’t work.

      When managed termination protection is on, Amazon ECS prevents the Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group that contain tasks from being terminated during a scale-in action. The Auto Scaling group and each instance in the Auto Scaling group must have instance protection from scale-in actions on as well. For more information, see Instance Protection in the Auto Scaling User Guide.

      When managed termination protection is off, your Amazon EC2 instances aren’t protected from termination when the Auto Scaling group scales in.

    • managedDraining (string) –

      The managed draining option for the Auto Scaling group capacity provider. When you enable this, Amazon ECS manages and gracefully drains the EC2 container instances that are in the Auto Scaling group capacity provider.

  • tags (list) –

    The metadata that you apply to the capacity provider to categorize and organize them more conveniently. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both of them.

    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.

    • (dict) –

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

      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

      • 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.

      • key (string) –

        One part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

      • value (string) –

        The optional part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

Return type:
