Updating the Amazon ECS container agent

Updating the Amazon ECS container agent

Occasionally, you might need to update the Amazon ECS container agent to pick up bug fixes and new features. Updating the Amazon ECS container agent does not interrupt running tasks or services on the container instance. The process for updating the agent differs depending on whether your container instance was launched with an Amazon ECS-optimized AMI or another operating system.

Note

Agent updates do not apply to Windows container instances. We recommend that you launch new container instances to update the agent version in your Windows clusters.

Checking the Amazon ECS container agent version

You can check the version of the container agent that is running on your container instances to see if you need to update it. The container instance view in the Amazon ECS console provides the agent version. Use the following procedure to check your agent version.

Amazon ECS console
  1. Open the console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ecs/v2.

  2. From the navigation bar, choose the Region where your external instance is registered.

  3. In the navigation pane, choose Clusters and select the cluster that hosts the external instance.

  4. On the Cluster : name page, choose the Infrastructure tab.

  5. Under Container instances, note the Agent version column for your container instances. If the container instance does not contain the latest version of the container agent, the console alerts you with a message and flags the outdated agent version.

    If your agent version is outdated, you can update your container agent with the following procedures:

    Important

    To update the Amazon ECS agent version from versions before v1.0.0 on your Amazon ECS-optimized AMI, we recommend that you terminate your current container instance and launch a new instance with the most recent AMI version. Any container instances that use a preview version should be retired and replaced with the most recent AMI. For more information, see Launching an Amazon ECS Linux container instance.

Amazon ECS container agent introspection API

You can also use the to check the agent Amazon ECS container agent introspection API version from the container instance itself. For more information, see Amazon ECS container introspection.

To check if your Amazon ECS container agent is running the latest version with the introspection API
  1. Log in to your container instance via SSH.

  2. Query the introspection API.

    [ec2-user ~]$ curl -s 127.0.0.1:51678/v1/metadata | python3 -mjson.tool

    Note

    The introspection API added Version information in the version v1.0.0 of the Amazon ECS container agent. If Version is not present when querying the introspection API, or the introspection API is not present in your agent at all, then the version you are running is v0.0.3 or earlier. You should update your version.
