EcsRunTask

Run a Task on ECS or Fargate.

Import

import { EcsRunTask } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks';

Or use the module namespace:

import * as stepfunctions_tasks from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks';
// stepfunctions_tasks.EcsRunTask

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as EcsRunTaskProps.

clusterRequired
ICluster

The ECS cluster to run the task on.

launchTargetRequired
IEcsLaunchTarget

An Amazon ECS launch type determines the type of infrastructure on which your tasks and services are hosted.

taskDefinitionRequired
TaskDefinition

[disable-awslint:ref-via-interface] Task Definition used for running tasks in the service. Note: this must be TaskDefinition, and not ITaskDefinition, as it requires properties that are not known for imported task definitions If you want to run a RunTask with an imported task definition, consider using CustomState

assignPublicIpOptional
boolean

Assign public IP addresses to each task.

Default: false

containerOverridesOptional
ContainerOverride[]

Container setting overrides. Specify the container to use and the overrides to apply.

Default: - No overrides

cpuOptional
string

Cpu setting override.

Default: - No override

enableExecuteCommandOptional
boolean

Whether ECS Exec should be enabled.

Default: false

memoryMiBOptional
string

Memory setting override.

Default: - No override

propagatedTagSourceOptional
PropagatedTagSource

Specifies whether to propagate the tags from the task definition to the task. An error will be received if you specify the SERVICE option when running a task.

Default: - No tags are propagated.

revisionNumberOptional
number

The revision number of ECS task definition family.

Default: - '$latest'

securityGroupsOptional
ISecurityGroup[]

Existing security groups to use for the tasks.

Default: - A new security group is created

subnetsOptional
SubnetSelection

Subnets to place the task's ENIs.

Default: - Public subnets if assignPublicIp is set. Private subnets otherwise.

2 properties inherited from TaskStateBaseProps
resultPathOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseProps
string

JSONPath expression to indicate where to inject the state's output. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the state's input to become its output.

Default: $

resultSelectorOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseProps
{ [key: string]: any }

The JSON that will replace the state's raw result and become the effective result before ResultPath is applied. You can use ResultSelector to create a payload with values that are static or selected from the state's raw result.

Default: - None

3 properties inherited from StateBaseProps
commentOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
string

A comment describing this state.

Default: No comment

queryLanguageOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
QueryLanguage

The name of the query language used by the state. If the state does not contain a `queryLanguage` field, then it will use the query language specified in the top-level `queryLanguage` field.

Default: - JSONPath

stateNameOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
string

Optional name for this state.

Default: - The construct ID will be used as state name

6 properties inherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
credentialsOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Credentials

Credentials for an IAM Role that the State Machine assumes for executing the task. This enables cross-account resource invocations.

Default: - None (Task is executed using the State Machine's execution role)

heartbeatOptionalDeprecatedinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Duration

Timeout for the heartbeat.

Default: - None

Deprecated: use `heartbeatTimeout`

heartbeatTimeoutOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Timeout

Timeout for the heartbeat. [disable-awslint:duration-prop-type] is needed because all props interface in aws-stepfunctions-tasks extend this interface

Default: - None

integrationPatternOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
IntegrationPattern

AWS Step Functions integrates with services directly in the Amazon States Language. You can control these AWS services using service integration patterns. Depending on the AWS Service, the Service Integration Pattern availability will vary.

Default: - `IntegrationPattern.REQUEST_RESPONSE` for most tasks. `IntegrationPattern.RUN_JOB` for the following exceptions: `BatchSubmitJob`, `EmrAddStep`, `EmrCreateCluster`, `EmrTerminationCluster`, and `EmrContainersStartJobRun`.

taskTimeoutOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Timeout

Timeout for the task. [disable-awslint:duration-prop-type] is needed because all props interface in aws-stepfunctions-tasks extend this interface

Default: - None

timeoutOptionalDeprecatedinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Duration

Timeout for the task.

Default: - None

Deprecated: use `taskTimeout`

1 property inherited from AssignableStateOptions
assignOptionalinherited from AssignableStateOptions
{ [key: string]: any }

Workflow variables to store in this step. Using workflow variables, you can store data in a step and retrieve that data in future steps.

Default: - Not assign variables

2 properties inherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
inputPathOptionalinherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
string

JSONPath expression to select part of the state to be the input to this state. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the effective input to be the empty object {}.

Default: $

outputPathOptionalinherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
string

JSONPath expression to select part of the state to be the output to this state. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the effective output to be the empty object {}.

Default: $

1 property inherited from JsonataCommonOptions
outputsOptionalinherited from JsonataCommonOptions
any

Used to specify and transform output from the state. When specified, the value overrides the state output default. The output field accepts any JSON value (object, array, string, number, boolean, null). Any string value, including those inside objects or arrays, will be evaluated as JSONata if surrounded by {% %} characters. Output also accepts a JSONata expression directly.
