Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable, fast, container management service. It makes it easy to run, stop, and manage Docker containers. You can host your cluster on a serverless infrastructure that's managed by Amazon ECS by launching your services or tasks on Fargate. For more control, you can host your tasks on a cluster of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) or External (on-premises) instances that you manage.
Amazon ECS makes it easy to launch and stop container-based applications with simple API calls. This makes it easy to get the state of your cluster from a centralized service, and gives you access to many familiar Amazon EC2 features.
You can use Amazon ECS to schedule the placement of containers across your cluster based on your resource needs, isolation policies, and availability requirements. With Amazon ECS, you don't need to operate your own cluster management and configuration management systems. You also don't need to worry about scaling your management infrastructure.
\n\n## Installing\n\nTo install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:\n\n- `npm install @aws-sdk/client-ecs`\n- `yarn add @aws-sdk/client-ecs`\n- `pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-ecs`\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Import\n\nThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.\nTo send a request, you only need to import the `ECSClient` and\nthe commands you need, for example `ListDaemonsCommand`:\n\n```js\n// ES5 example\nconst { ECSClient, ListDaemonsCommand } = require(\"@aws-sdk/client-ecs\");\n```\n\n```ts\n// ES6+ example\nimport { ECSClient, ListDaemonsCommand } from \"@aws-sdk/client-ecs\";\n```\n\n### Usage\n\nTo send a request:\n\n- Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).\n - See [docs/CLIENTS](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/CLIENTS.md) for configuration details.\n - See [@aws-sdk/config](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/packages/config/README.md) for additional options.\n- Instantiate a command with input parameters.\n- Call the `send` operation on the client, providing the command object as input.\n\n```js\nconst client = new ECSClient({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\nconst params = { /** input parameters */ };\nconst command = new ListDaemonsCommand(params);\n```\n\n#### Async/await\n\nWe recommend using the [await](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await)\noperator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:\n\n```js\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n} finally {\n // finally.\n}\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nYou can also use [Promise chaining](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_promises#chaining).\n\n```js\nclient\n .send(command)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n })\n .finally(() => {\n // finally.\n });\n```\n\n#### Aggregated client\n\nThe aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the \"Client\" suffix.\n\n`ECS` extends `ECSClient` and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods.\nThis style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.\n\nIf you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (`ECSClient`).\nMore details are in the blog post on\n[modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/modular-packages-in-aws-sdk-for-javascript/).\n\n```ts\nimport { ECS } from \"@aws-sdk/client-ecs\";\n\nconst client = new ECS({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.listDaemons(params);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n}\n\n// Promises.\nclient\n .listDaemons(params)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n });\n\n// callbacks (not recommended).\nclient.listDaemons(params, (err, data) => {\n // process err and data.\n});\n```\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nWhen the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information,\nas well as response metadata (e.g. request id).\n\n```js\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;\n console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });\n /**\n * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.\n * You can access them by specifying exception names:\n * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {\n * const value = error.specialKeyInException;\n * }\n */\n}\n```\n\nSee also [docs/ERROR_HANDLING](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/ERROR_HANDLING.md).\n\n## Getting Help\n\nPlease use these community resources for getting help.\nWe use GitHub issues for tracking bugs and feature requests, but have limited bandwidth to address them.\n\n- Visit the [Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v3/developer-guide/welcome.html)\n or [API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/index.html).\n- Check out the blog posts tagged with [`aws-sdk-js`](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/tag/aws-sdk-js/)\n on AWS Developer Blog.\n- Ask a question on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/aws-sdk-js) and tag it with `aws-sdk-js`.\n- Join the AWS JavaScript community on [gitter](https://gitter.im/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3).\n- If it turns out that you may have found a bug, please [open an issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/new/choose).\n\nTo test your universal JavaScript code in Node.js, browser and react-native environments,\nvisit our [code samples repo](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-sdk-js-tests).\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis client code is generated automatically.
