Manually updating the Amazon ECS container agent (for non-Amazon ECS-Optimized AMIs)

Manually updating the Amazon ECS container agent (for non-Amazon ECS-Optimized AMIs)

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.

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.

  1. Log in to your container instance via SSH.

  2. Check to see if your agent uses the ECS_DATADIR environment variable to save its state.

    ubuntu:~$ docker inspect ecs-agent | grep ECS_DATADIR

    Output:

    "ECS_DATADIR=/data",

    Important

    If the previous command does not return the ECS_DATADIR environment variable, you must stop any tasks running on this container instance before updating your agent. Newer agents with the ECS_DATADIR environment variable save their state and you can update them while tasks are running without issues.

  3. Stop the Amazon ECS container agent.

    ubuntu:~$ docker stop ecs-agent
  4. Delete the agent container.

    ubuntu:~$ docker rm ecs-agent
  5. Ensure that the /etc/ecs directory and the Amazon ECS container agent configuration file exist at /etc/ecs/ecs.config.

    ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/ecs && sudo touch /etc/ecs/ecs.config
  6. Edit the /etc/ecs/ecs.config file and ensure that it contains at least the following variable declarations. If you do not want your container instance to register with the default cluster, specify your cluster name as the value for ECS_CLUSTER.

    ECS_DATADIR=/data
    ECS_ENABLE_TASK_IAM_ROLE=true
    ECS_ENABLE_TASK_IAM_ROLE_NETWORK_HOST=true
    ECS_LOGFILE=/log/ecs-agent.log
    ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS=["json-file","awslogs"]
    ECS_LOGLEVEL=info
    ECS_CLUSTER=default

    For more information about these and other agent runtime options, see Amazon ECS container agent configuration.

  7. Pull the latest Amazon ECS container agent image from Amazon Elastic Container Registry Public.

    ubuntu:~$ docker pull public.ecr.aws/ecs/amazon-ecs-agent:latest

    Output:

    Pulling repository amazon/amazon-ecs-agent
    a5a56a5e13dc: Download complete
    511136ea3c5a: Download complete
    9950b5d678a1: Download complete
    c48ddcf21b63: Download complete
    Status: Image is up to date for amazon/amazon-ecs-agent:latest
  8. Run the latest Amazon ECS container agent on your container instance.

    Note

    Use Docker restart policies or a process manager (such as upstart or systemd) to treat the container agent as a service or a daemon and ensure that it is restarted after exiting. The Amazon ECS-optimized AMI uses the ecs-init RPM for this purpose, and you can view the source code for this RPM on GitHub.

    The following example of the agent run command is broken into separate lines to show each option. For more information about these and other agent runtime options, see Amazon ECS container agent configuration.

    Important

    Operating systems with SELinux enabled require the --privileged option in your docker run command. In addition, for SELinux-enabled container instances, we recommend that you add the :Z option to the /log and /data volume mounts. However, the host mounts for these volumes must exist before you run the command or you receive a no such file or directory error. Take the following action if you experience difficulty running the Amazon ECS agent on an SELinux-enabled container instance:

    ubuntu:~$ sudo docker run --name ecs-agent \
    --detach=true \
    --restart=on-failure:10 \
    --volume=/var/run:/var/run \
    --volume=/var/log/ecs/:/log \
    --volume=/var/lib/ecs/data:/data \
    --volume=/etc/ecs:/etc/ecs \
    --volume=/etc/ecs:/etc/ecs/pki \
    --net=host \
    --env-file=/etc/ecs/ecs.config \
    amazon/amazon-ecs-agent:latest

    Note

    If you receive an Error response from daemon: Cannot start container message, you can delete the failed container with the sudo docker rm ecs-agent command and try running the agent again.
