MaxInstanceLifetime value for ECS Fargate

2

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?

One option is to use update service API call, and --force-new-deployment flag.

MaxInstanceLifetime does not apply for Fragate.

    This is a bad idea if you are running a critical service as all tasks in your service will fail at the same time resulting in downtime until a new set of tasks is launched.
