HAQM ECS today announced a new feature that provides greater configurability for HAQM ECS Tasks that run on a periodic or scheduled basis, or are triggered by HAQM EventBridge (EventBridge) events. Customers now have access to the same rich configurations for scheduled and event-driven Tasks as they do for Tasks launched directly using the HAQM ECS run-Task API.
Customers use EventBridge to launch their HAQM ECS applications or jobs such as backups or scans that need to be run at regular intervals or at specified times. Customers can also configure EventBridge to trigger HAQM ECS workloads in response to certain events, such as when a file is uploaded to an HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) bucket. With this release, customers can now configure parameters such as Tags, capacity provider strategy, placement constraints, among others for these Tasks.
Customers can launch scheduled and event-driven HAQM ECS Tasks on both HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) instances and with AWS Fargate in all AWS Regions. For more details, please see the documentation here.
