Hi had one question about AWS ECS According to this article it is possible on ECS to run a standalone task But it seems that pulumi only supports attaching task to a service Does anybody know if Pulumi can do that

That s correct If you wanted to run a task you could look at the <https www pulumi com docs guides crosswalk aws ecs running fire and forget tasks|code here >and then either curl the apigateway endpoint if you use the exact code in the example or you could not use the apigateway and just run the code once the task definition is set up You re running code after all

so it is done via AWS Lambda

sounds kinda heavyweight to define API endpoint only to trigger one time container

or perhaps I am not fully understanding your remark or you could not use the apigateway and just run the code once the task definition is set up You re running code after all

hmm I see the task run

boundless-angle-56560 · Answer

but that is available only in the crosswalk but I believe the crosswalk is not supportet for Python which I am using

Is the task supposed to be long running or is it one that just runs some code and then stops

just a single batch code that is supposed to be executed just once
