- volume - (Optional) Configuration block for volumes that containers in your task may use. Detailed below.
volume
- docker_volume_configuration - (Optional) Configuration block to configure a docker volume. Detailed below.

- fsx_windows_file_server_volume_configuration - (Optional) Configuration block for an FSX Windows File Server volume. Detailed below.
- host_path - (Optional) Path on the host container instance that is presented to the container. If not set, ECS will create a nonpersistent data volume that starts empty and is deleted after the task has finished.
- name - (Required) Name of the volume. This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition in the mountPoints section.
docker_volume_configuration
For more information, see Specifying a Docker volume in your Task Definition Developer Guide
- autoprovision - (Optional) If this value is true, the Docker volume is created if it does not already exist. Note: This field is only used if the scope is shared.
- driver_opts - (Optional) Map of Docker driver specific options.
- driver - (Optional) Docker volume driver to use. The driver value must match the driver name provided by Docker because it is used for task placement.
- labels - (Optional) Map of custom metadata to add to your Docker volume.
- scope - (Optional) Scope for the Docker volume, which determines its lifecycle, either task or shared. Docker volumes that are scoped to a task are automatically provisioned when the task starts and destroyed when the task stops. Docker volumes that are scoped as shared persist after the task stops.
efs_volume_configuration
For more information, see Specifying an EFS volume in your Task Definition Developer Guide
- file_system_id - (Required) ID of the EFS File System.
- root_directory - (Optional) Directory within the Amazon EFS file system to mount as the root directory inside the host. If this parameter is omitted, the root of the Amazon EFS volume will be used. Specifying / will have the same effect as omitting this parameter. This argument is ignored when using authorization_config.
- transit_encryption - (Optional) Whether or not to enable encryption for Amazon EFS data in transit between the Amazon ECS host and the Amazon EFS server. Transit encryption must be enabled if Amazon EFS IAM authorization is used. Valid values: ENABLED, DISABLED. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of DISABLED is used.
- transit_encryption_port - (Optional) Port to use for transit encryption. If you do not specify a transit encryption port, it will use the port selection strategy that the Amazon EFS mount helper uses.
- authorization_config - (Optional) Configuration block for authorization for the Amazon EFS file system. Detailed below.
runtime_platform
- operating_system_family - (Optional) If the requires_compatibilities is FARGATE this field is required; must be set to a valid option from the operating system family in the runtime platform setting
- cpu_architecture - (Optional) Must be set to either X86_64 or ARM64; see cpu architecture
authorization_config
- access_point_id - (Optional) Access point ID to use. If an access point is specified, the root directory value will be relative to the directory set for the access point. If specified, transit encryption must be enabled in the EFSVolumeConfiguration.
- iam - (Optional) Whether or not to use the Amazon ECS task IAM role defined in a task definition when mounting the Amazon EFS file system. If enabled, transit encryption must be enabled in the EFSVolumeConfiguration. Valid values: ENABLED, DISABLED. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of DISABLED is used.
