AWS::ECS::CapacityProvider InstanceRequirementsRequest - AWS CloudFormation

This is the new AWS CloudFormation Template Reference Guide. Please update your bookmarks and links. For help getting started with CloudFormation, see the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

AWS::ECS::CapacityProvider InstanceRequirementsRequest

The instance requirements for attribute-based instance type selection. Instead of specifying exact instance types, you define requirements such as vCPU count, memory size, network performance, and accelerator specifications. Amazon ECS automatically selects Amazon EC2 instance types that match these requirements, providing flexibility and helping to mitigate capacity constraints.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

The accelerator types to include. You can specify gpu for graphics processing units, fpga for field programmable gate arrays, or inference for machine learning inference accelerators.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Allowed values: gpu | fpga | inference

Update requires: No interruption

AllowedInstanceTypes

The instance types to include in the selection. When specified, Amazon ECS only considers these instance types, subject to the other requirements specified.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 30

Update requires: No interruption

BareMetal

Indicates whether to include bare metal instance types. Set to included to allow bare metal instances, excluded to exclude them, or required to use only bare metal instances.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: included | required | excluded

Update requires: No interruption

BaselineEbsBandwidthMbps

The minimum and maximum baseline Amazon EBS bandwidth in megabits per second (Mbps). This is important for workloads with high storage I/O requirements.

Required: No

Type: BaselineEbsBandwidthMbpsRequest

Update requires: No interruption

BurstablePerformance

Indicates whether to include burstable performance instance types (T2, T3, T3a, T4g). Set to included to allow burstable instances, excluded to exclude them, or required to use only burstable instances.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: included | required | excluded

Update requires: No interruption

CpuManufacturers

The CPU manufacturers to include or exclude. You can specify intel, amd, or amazon-web-services to control which CPU types are used for your workloads.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Allowed values: intel | amd | amazon-web-services

Update requires: No interruption

ExcludedInstanceTypes

The instance types to exclude from selection. Use this to prevent Amazon ECS from selecting specific instance types that may not be suitable for your workloads.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 30

Update requires: No interruption

InstanceGenerations

The instance generations to include. You can specify current to use the latest generation instances, or previous to include previous generation instances for cost optimization.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Allowed values: current | previous

Update requires: No interruption

LocalStorage

Indicates whether to include instance types with local storage. Set to included to allow local storage, excluded to exclude it, or required to use only instances with local storage.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: included | required | excluded

Update requires: No interruption

LocalStorageTypes

The local storage types to include. You can specify hdd for hard disk drives, ssd for solid state drives, or both.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Allowed values: hdd | ssd

Update requires: No interruption

MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice

The maximum price for Spot instances as a percentage of the optimal On-Demand price. This provides more precise cost control for Spot instance selection.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Update requires: No interruption

MemoryGiBPerVCpu

The minimum and maximum amount of memory per vCPU in gibibytes (GiB). This helps ensure that instance types have the appropriate memory-to-CPU ratio for your workloads.

Required: No

Type: MemoryGiBPerVCpuRequest

Update requires: No interruption

MemoryMiB

The minimum and maximum amount of memory in mebibytes (MiB) for the instance types. Amazon ECS selects instance types that have memory within this range.

Required: Yes

Type: MemoryMiBRequest

Update requires: No interruption

NetworkBandwidthGbps

The minimum and maximum network bandwidth in gigabits per second (Gbps). This is crucial for network-intensive workloads that require high throughput.

Required: No

Type: NetworkBandwidthGbpsRequest

Update requires: No interruption

NetworkInterfaceCount

The minimum and maximum number of network interfaces for the instance types. This is useful for workloads that require multiple network interfaces.

Required: No

Type: NetworkInterfaceCountRequest

Update requires: No interruption

OnDemandMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice

The price protection threshold for On-Demand Instances, as a percentage higher than an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon ECS selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.

Required: No
