Debugging the deployment using Amazon ECS execute-command

You can use Amazon ECS to run commands, such as bash and sh commands, in a task that is running.

  1. To use Amazon ECS to run a command, open Amazon ECS in the AWS Management Console and navigate to the cluster and the task that contains the application. The cluster will be named <application_id>-cluster.

  2. Locate a single service in the cluster and locate an active task in the cluster. Use the cluster name and task ID in an AWS CLI command: 

    aws ecs execute-command --cluster <cluster_name> \
    --task <task_id> \
    --container app \
    --interactive \
    --command "bash"

For more information, see the Running commands using Amazon ECS Exec section of Using Amazon ECS Exec for debugging in the Amazon ECS User Guide.
