MaxInstanceLifetime value for ECS Fargate

Question

My team uses AWS ECS Fargate. We would like to perform a routine recycle for our ECS tasks. I found the MaxInstanceLifetime value parameter but it seems mostly for EC2 instances. Is it possible to set this parameter for ECS Fargate? If so, where in the console can I find this? If not, are there any suggestions on how we can go about recycling our ECS Fargate tasks?

Accepted Answer

One option is to use[ update service ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ecs/update-service.html)API call, and `--force-new-deployment ` flag.

MaxInstanceLifetime does not apply for Fragate.

Create a sidecar container with `sleep XXX` and mark it as essential
