使用 CloudFormation 在 ECS 服务上定义多个任务

Question

Hi I'm newbie on CloudFormation AWS, and I'm working right now with a ECS Service with 1 task, but I would like to put more tasks using CloudFormation. However inside the properties on AWS ECS Service, there's one called Task Definition, and only allows to put 1 tasks. How can I configure in order to use more tasks. I´m doing the project on the same Region. Thanks

Answer 1

Sadly, you can't do this. A single service can run multiple copies of only one task . So if you want to run multiple tasks, you have to create multiple services , ie, one service per task.

However, a single task can contain multiple containers.

I've already got it. There's other parameter called DesiredCount, and it's gonna make x replicas, depending the number of tasks you need. So if you want to put 5 tasks in your service, DesiredCount parameter that you have to put is 5. Here is the link if you want to search the parameter DesiredCount for more info.
