Task Definition Formats

UFO supports writing your Task Definition in either YAML or JSON. For those who prefer writing the Task Definition in JSON, here’s an example:

.ufo/resources/task_definitions/web.json

<%#
# networkMode comment:
# bridge is the default because awsvpc requires specific instance types and private subnets.
# But bridge mode requires user to open up ports on EC2 instances. Ports: 32768-65535.
# awsvpc requires specific instance types and ECS tasks to run on private subnets.
%>
{
  "family": "<%= @family %>",
  "networkMode": "bridge", <%# bridge is default because awsvpc requires specific instance types and private subnets %>
  "containerDefinitions": [
    {
