            The value of the key-value pair. For environment variables, this is the value of the environment variable.

      • tags (list) –

        The metadata that you apply to the cluster to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both.

        The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

        • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50

        • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

        • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8

        • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

        • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

        • Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.

        • Do not use aws:, AWS:, or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for Amazon Web Services use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.

        • (dict) –

          The metadata that you apply to a resource to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define them.

          The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

          • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50

You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.

          • key (string) –

            One part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

          • value (string) –

            The optional part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

      • settings (list) –

        The settings for the cluster. This parameter indicates whether CloudWatch Container Insights is on or off for a cluster.

        • (dict) –

          The settings to use when creating a cluster. This parameter is used to turn on CloudWatch Container Insights with enhanced observability or CloudWatch Container Insights for a cluster.

          Container Insights with enhanced observability provides all the Container Insights metrics, plus additional task and container metrics. This version supports enhanced observability for Amazon ECS clusters using the Amazon EC2 and Fargate launch types. After you configure Container Insights with enhanced observability on Amazon ECS, Container Insights auto-collects detailed infrastructure telemetry from the cluster level down to the container level in your environment and displays these critical performance data in curated dashboards removing the heavy lifting in observability set-up.

          For more information, see Monitor Amazon ECS containers using Container Insights with enhanced observability in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

          • name (string) –

            The name of the cluster setting. The value is containerInsights .

          • value (string) –

            The value to set for the cluster setting. The supported values are enhanced, enabled, and disabled.

            To use Container Insights with enhanced observability, set the containerInsights account setting to enhanced.

            To use Container Insights, set the containerInsights account setting to enabled.

            If a cluster value is specified, it will override the containerInsights value set with PutAccountSetting or PutAccountSettingDefault.

      • capacityProviders (list) –

        The capacity providers associated with the cluster.

        • (string) –

      • defaultCapacityProviderStrategy (list) –

        The default capacity provider strategy for the cluster. When services or tasks are run in the cluster with no launch type or capacity provider strategy specified, the default capacity provider strategy is used.

        • (dict) –

          The details of a capacity provider strategy. A capacity provider strategy can be set when using the RunTask <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_RunTask.html>`__or `CreateCluster APIs or as the default capacity provider strategy for a cluster with the CreateCluster API.

          Only capacity providers that are already associated with a cluster and have an ACTIVE or UPDATING status can be used in a capacity provider strategy. The PutClusterCapacityProviders API is used to associate a capacity provider with a cluster.

          If specifying a capacity provider that uses an Auto Scaling group, the capacity provider must already be created. New Auto Scaling group capacity providers can be created with the CreateClusterCapacityProvider API operation.

          To use a Fargate capacity provider, specify either the FARGATE or FARGATE_SPOT capacity providers. The Fargate capacity providers are available to all accounts and only need to be associated with a cluster to be used in a capacity provider strategy.

          With FARGATE_SPOT, you can run interruption tolerant tasks at a rate that’s discounted compared to the FARGATE price. FARGATE_SPOT runs tasks on spare compute capacity. When Amazon Web Services needs the capacity back, your tasks are interrupted with a two-minute warning. FARGATE_SPOT supports Linux tasks with the X86_64 architecture on platform version 1.3.0 or later. FARGATE_SPOT supports Linux tasks with the ARM64 architecture on platform version 1.4.0 or later.

          A capacity provider strategy can contain a maximum of 20 capacity providers.

          • capacityProvider (string) –

            The short name of the capacity provider.

          • weight (integer) –

            The weight value designates the relative percentage of the total number of tasks launched that should use the specified capacity provider. The weight value is taken into consideration after the base value, if defined, is satisfied.

            If no weight value is specified, the default value of 0 is used. When multiple capacity providers are specified within a capacity provider strategy, at least one of the capacity providers must have a weight value greater than zero and any capacity providers with a weight of 0 can’t be used to place tasks. If you specify multiple capacity providers in a strategy that all have a weight of 0, any RunTask or CreateService actions using the capacity provider strategy will fail.

            An example scenario for using weights is defining a strategy that contains two capacity providers and both have a weight of 1, then when the base is satisfied, the tasks will be split evenly across the two capacity providers. Using that same logic, if you specify a weight of 1 for capacityProviderA and a weight of 4 for capacityProviderB, then for every one task that’s run using capacityProviderA, four tasks would use capacityProviderB.

          • base (integer) –

            The base value designates how many tasks, at a minimum, to run on the specified capacity provider. Only one capacity provider in a capacity provider strategy can have a base defined. If no value is specified, the default value of 0 is used.

      • attachments (list) –

        The resources attached to a cluster. When using a capacity provider with a cluster, the capacity provider and associated resources are returned as cluster attachments.

        • (dict) –

          An object representing a container instance or task attachment.

          • id (string) –

            The unique identifier for the attachment.

          • type (string) –

            The type of the attachment, such as ElasticNetworkInterface, Service Connect, and AmazonElasticBlockStorage.

          • status (string) –

            The status of the attachment. Valid values are PRECREATED, CREATED, ATTACHING, ATTACHED, DETACHING, DETACHED, DELETED, and FAILED.

          • details (list) –

            Details of the attachment.

            For elastic network interfaces, this includes the network interface ID, the MAC address, the subnet ID, and the private IPv4 address.

            For Service Connect services, this includes portName, clientAliases, discoveryName, and ingressPortOverride.

            For Elastic Block Storage, this includes roleArn, deleteOnTermination, volumeName, volumeId, and statusReason (only when the attachment fails to create or attach).

            • (dict) –

              A key-value pair object.

              • name (string) –

                The name of the key-value pair. For environment variables, this is the name of the environment variable.

              • value (string) –

                The value of the key-value pair. For environment variables, this is the value of the environment variable.

      • attachmentsStatus (string) –

        The status of the capacity providers associated with the cluster. The following are the states that are returned.

        UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS

        The available capacity providers for the cluster are updating.

        UPDATE_COMPLETE

        The capacity providers have successfully updated.

        UPDATE_FAILED

        The capacity provider updates failed.

      • serviceConnectDefaults (dict) –

        Use this parameter to set a default Service Connect namespace. After you set a default Service Connect namespace, any new services with Service Connect turned on that are created in the cluster are added as client services in the namespace. This setting only applies to new services that set the enabled parameter to true in the ServiceConnectConfiguration. You can set the namespace of each service individually in the ServiceConnectConfiguration to override this default parameter.

        Tasks that run in a namespace can use short names to connect to services in the namespace. Tasks can connect to services across all of the clusters in the namespace. Tasks connect through a managed proxy container that collects logs and metrics for increased visibility. Only the tasks that Amazon ECS services create are supported with Service Connect. For more information, see Service Connect in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

        • namespace (string) –

          The namespace name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Cloud Map namespace. When you create a service and don’t specify a Service Connect configuration, this namespace is used.

  • failures (list) –

    Any failures associated with the call.

    • (dict) –

      A failed resource. For a list of common causes, see API failure reasons in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

      • arn (string) –
