Stopping Amazon ECS service deployments - Amazon Elastic Container Service
ProcedureNext steps

Stopping Amazon ECS service deployments

You can manually stop a deployment when a failing deployment was not detected by the circuit breaker or CloudWatch alarms. The following stop types are available:

  • Rollback - This option rolls back the service deployment to the previous service revision.

    You can use this option even if you didn't configure the service deployment for the rollback option.

You can stop a deployment that is in any of the following states. For more information about service deployment states, see View service history using Amazon ECS service deployments.

  • PENDING - The service deployment moves to the ROLLBACK_REQUESTED state, and then the rollback operation starts.

  • IN_PROGRESS - The service deployment moves to the ROLLBACK_REQUESTED state, and then the rollback operation starts.

  • STOP_REQUESTED - The service deployment continues to stop.

  • ROLLBACK_REQUESTED - The service deployment continues the rollback operation.

  • ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS - The service deployment continues the rollback operation.

Procedure

Before you begin, configure the required permissions for viewing service deployments. For more information, see Permissions required for viewing Amazon ECS service deployments.

Amazon ECS Console

  1. Open the console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ecs/v2.

  2. On the Clusters page, choose the cluster.

  3. On the cluster details page, in the Services section, choose the service.

    The service details page displays.

  4. On the service details page, choose Deployments.

    The deployments page displays.

  5. Under Ongoing deployment, choose Roll back. Then, in the confirmation window, choose Roll back.

AWS CLI

  1. Run list-service-deployments to retrieve the service deployment ARN.

    Replace the user-input with your values.

    aws ecs list-service-deployments --cluster cluster-name --service service-name

    Note the serviceDeploymentArn for the deployment you want to stop.

    {
    "serviceDeployments": [
        {
            "serviceDeploymentArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:service-deployment/cluster-name/service-name/NCWGC2ZR-taawPAYrIaU5",
            "serviceArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:service/cluster-name/service-name",
            "clusterArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster/cluster-name",
            "targetServiceRevisionArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:service-revision/cluster-name/service-name/4980306466373577095",
            "status": "SUCCESSFUL"
        }
    ]
}

  2. Run stop-service-deployments. Use the serviceDeploymentArn that was returned from list-service-deployments.

    Replace the user-input with your values.

    aws ecs stop-service-deployment --service-deployment-arn arn:aws:ecs:region:123456789012:service-deployment/cluster-name/service-name/NCWGC2ZR-taawPAYrIaU5 --stop-type ROLLBACK

Next steps

Decide what changes need to be made to the service, and then update the service. For more information, see Updating an Amazon ECS service using the console.
