Description

ECS services (Fargate and EC2) now allow commands to be executed inside the container. This must be enabled on every ECS task and service. The provider must send a new field to CreateService/UpdateService, enableExecuteCommand, to enable this functionality.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_ecs_service

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_ecs_service" "mongo" {
  name                   = "mongodb"
  cluster                = aws_ecs_cluster.foo.id
  task_definition        = aws_ecs_task_definition.mongo.arn
  enable_execute_command = true
}

I think an update is also required to aws_ecs_cluster to add support for the logging configuration.

Requires AWS SDK v1.37.31:

• build(deps): bump github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go from 1.37.24 to 1.37.31 #18119

@ewbankkit, @bill-rich , I've opened a PR, that adds enable_execute_command to the aws_ecs_service resource. Would be grateful for the review.

[markbaird]

The merged PR only covers the aws_ecs_service portion, it doesn't add the executeCommandConfiguration configuration options to the aws_ecs_cluster resource.

[WhyNotHugo]

@markbaird Do you really need executeCommandConfiguration? I just updated the services and could run ExecuteCommand just fine (e.g.: it seems updating the cluster was not necessary).

[iancward]

@WhyNotHugo if you want any auditing of the commands run in the task, we'll need support for executeCommandConfiguration in aws_ecs_cluster. See my note above and included documentation link.
