Or if you’re using Typescript, there are some higher-level abstractions: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/awsx/ecs/#task-definitions>

task definition doesn’t run the task itself what I understand

I can’t even find that in the console TBH, how do you get to that window you posted a screenshot of?

You could try something along the lines of <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/crosswalk/aws/ecs/#running-fire-and-forget-tasks>

not sure that’s exactly what I need, <@UTH0AMTQQ> that approach runs task by using some trigger, itself task.run({ cluster }) doesn’t work from pulumi program.

I just ran into this last week. Didn't spend a lot of time looking into it but i didn't see an obvious solution, ended up just running the tasks outside of pulumi.

<@U013J8RFZTL> There’s no built-in way to trigger a task from within the program itself. An alternative to my previous suggestion is you could use Automation API and then run the task using the AWS SDK after the stack completes.
