Fargate ephemeral storage 200gb - per task or shared by all tasks?

Question

Hi, according to : https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/04/amazon-ecs-aws-fargate-configure-size-ephemeral-storage-tasks/

latest fargate version allows configuration up to 200GB.  Is that 200GB shared by all tasks or each task get it's own 200GB of space?     That is, when fargate scale up the number of tasks, are all tasks sharing a single 200GB space?

Or, if configured max number of tasks as 4.  then we could get 4x200GB = 800GB of tasks while scaling up to the max number?

Accepted Answer

Ephemeral storage is allocated per task basis and is not shared.  That also means you don't get 800GB of shared storage, but each task will have access to up to 200GB ephemeral storage.

However, for each task, you do need to pay the per GB per hour beyond 20GB.
