docker run program arguments in aws ecs

Question

I have a working container in Amazon\'s ECS that runs a program as a task. I would like to pass some program arguments, as I would do when running locally with docker run<

Answer 1

You can add command line arguments for the container entry point when creating new ECS task revision in AWS console. Open your container settings, and under the ENVIRONMENT label put the comma-separated list of command line arguments into the "Command" field.

Example:

--debug,--packages org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-aws:2.7.3

will add 2 command line arguments to your container entry point.
