Starts a new task from the specified task definition on the specified container instance or instances.
ecs_start_task(cluster, taskDefinition, overrides, containerInstances,
startedBy, group, networkConfiguration, tags, enableECSManagedTags,
propagateTags)The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster on which to start your task. If you do not specify a cluster, the default cluster is assumed.
[required] The family and revision (family:revision) or full ARN of the task
definition to start. If a revision is not specified, the latest
ACTIVE revision is used.
A list of container overrides in JSON format that specify the name of a
container in the specified task definition and the overrides it should
receive. You can override the default command for a container (that is
specified in the task definition or Docker image) with a command
override. You can also override existing environment variables (that are
specified in the task definition or Docker image) on a container or add
new environment variables to it with an environment override.
A total of 8192 characters are allowed for overrides. This limit includes the JSON formatting characters of the override structure.
[required] The container instance IDs or full ARN entries for the container instances on which you would like to place your task. You can specify up to 10 container instances.
An optional tag specified when a task is started. For example, if you
automatically trigger a task to run a batch process job, you could apply
a unique identifier for that job to your task with the startedBy
parameter. You can then identify which tasks belong to that job by
filtering the results of a ListTasks call with the startedBy value. Up
to 36 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, and
underscores are allowed.
If a task is started by an Amazon ECS service, then the startedBy
parameter contains the deployment ID of the service that starts it.
The name of the task group to associate with the task. The default value is the family name of the task definition (for example, family:my-family-name).
The VPC subnet and security group configuration for tasks that receive
their own elastic network interface by using the awsvpc networking
mode.
The metadata that you apply to the task to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Tag keys can have a maximum character length of 128 characters, and tag values can have a maximum length of 256 characters.
Specifies whether to enable Amazon ECS managed tags for the task. For more information, see Tagging Your Amazon ECS Resources in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
Specifies whether to propagate the tags from the task definition or the service to the task. If no value is specified, the tags are not propagated.
