AWS ECS Service implementation guide Task Definition with New Environment Variables
After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I recently switched to I'm running into an scenario where my AWS ECS service isn't updating the task definition with new environment variables as expected. I've defined a new task definition revision with the updated environment variables and attempted to deploy it, but the service continues to run the previous version. I used the AWS CLI to register the new task definition and updated my service configuration, but it seems like the deployment is somehow not picking up the changes. Here’s the command I used to register the new task definition: ```json { "family": "my-service-task", "containerDefinitions": [ { "name": "my-container", "image": "my-image:latest", "essential": true, "environment": [ { "name": "NEW_VARIABLE", "value": "new_value" }, { "name": "EXISTING_VARIABLE", "value": "existing_value" } ] } ] } ``` After registering, I used the following command to update the service: ```bash aws ecs update-service --cluster my-cluster --service my-service --task-definition my-service-task:2 ``` However, after running this command, when I check the environment variables in the running tasks, they still reflect the old values. I also verified that the new task definition revision was successfully created and is listed in the AWS Management Console. I’ve tried stopping the tasks manually to force them to restart with the new settings, but the tasks only restart with the previous configuration. The service deployment status shows `PRIMARY` healthy and does not indicate any errors. Is there something I'm missing in the update process? Should I be using different flags or a different approach to ensure the ECS service picks up the new task definition? Any insights would be appreciated! I'm using Bash LTS in this project. I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Bash. Has anyone else encountered this?
