How you can Scale Out an AWS ECS Service

Once you create the Amazon ECS service, it consists of three Amazon ECS process replicas. You’ll be able to see this through the use of the describe-services command, which returns three. Use the update-service command to scale the service to 5 duties. Re-run the describe-services command to see the up to date 5.

Step 1 – Question the specified depend#

aws ecs describe-services 
--cluster fargate-getting-started 
--services nginx-service 
--query 'companies[0].desiredCount'

Output: 3

Step 2 – Set the brand new desired depend#

aws ecs update-service 
--cluster fargate-getting-started 
--service nginx-service 
--desired-count 5

It will now replace the service to have a desired depend of 5.

Step 3 – Question the up to date desired depend#

aws ecs describe-services 
--cluster fargate-getting-started 
--services nginx-service 
--query 'companies[0].desiredCount'

Output: 5
