type

The deployment controller type to use.

There are three deployment controller types available:

ECS

The rolling update (ECS) deployment type involves replacing the current running version of the container with the latest version. The number of containers Amazon ECS adds or removes from the service during a rolling update is controlled by adjusting the minimum and maximum number of healthy tasks allowed during a service deployment, as specified in the DeploymentConfiguration.

For more information about rolling deployments, see Deploy Amazon ECS services by replacing tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

CODE_DEPLOY

The blue/green (CODE_DEPLOY) deployment type uses the blue/green deployment model powered by Amazon CodeDeploy, which allows you to verify a new deployment of a service before sending production traffic to it.

For more information about blue/green deployments, see Validate the state of an Amazon ECS service before deployment in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

EXTERNAL

The external (EXTERNAL) deployment type enables you to use any third-party deployment controller for full control over the deployment process for an Amazon ECS service.

For more information about external deployments, see Deploy Amazon ECS services using a third-party controller in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
