How to start and stop Amazon Elastic container service in JS (Java Script)

 The Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) can be managed using the AWS SDK for JavaScript. The SDK provides a programmatic way to interact with AWS services, including the ability to start and stop ECS tasks.

Here's an example of how you can use the AWS SDK for JavaScript to start an ECS task:

const AWS = require('aws-sdk'); AWS.config.update({region: 'us-west-2'}); const ecs = new AWS.ECS({apiVersion: '2014-11-13'}); const params = { cluster: 'my-cluster', taskDefinition: 'my-task-definition', count: 1, startedBy: 'my-app', }; ecs.runTask(params, function(err, data) { if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); else console.log(data); });

You'll need to replace my-cluster and my-task-definition with the names of your existing ECS cluster and task definition, respectively. You'll also need to replace my-app with a string that identifies the app that's starting the task.

This code starts a single task from the specified task definition in the specified ECS cluster.

Here's an example of how you can use the AWS SDK for JavaScript to stop an ECS task:

const AWS = require('aws-sdk'); AWS.config.update({region: 'us-west-2'}); const ecs = new AWS.ECS({apiVersion: '2014-11-13'}); const params = { cluster: 'my-cluster', task: 'my-task', reason: 'Stopping the task for maintenance', }; ecs.stopTask(params, function(err, data) { if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); else console.log(data); });

You'll need to replace my-cluster and my-task with the names of your existing ECS cluster and task, respectively.

This code stops the specified task in the specified ECS cluster.
