The type of resource to assign to a container. The supported values are `GPU` or `InferenceAccelerator`.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `GPU | InferenceAccelerator`   
Required: Yes

 ** value **   <a name="eventbridge-Type-EcsResourceRequirement-value"></a>
The value for the specified resource type.  
If the `GPU` type is used, the value is the number of physical `GPUs` the Amazon ECS container agent reserves for the container. The number of GPUs that's reserved for all containers in a task can't exceed the number of available GPUs on the container instance that the task is launched on.  
If the `InferenceAccelerator` type is used, the `value` matches the `deviceName` for an InferenceAccelerator specified in a task definition.
