Description

Creates a new Amazon ECS cluster. By default, your account receives a default cluster when you launch your first container instance. However, you can create your own cluster with a unique name with the CreateCluster action. When you call the CreateCluster API operation, Amazon ECS attempts to create the Amazon ECS service-linked role for your account. This is so that it can manage required resources in other Amazon Web Services services on your behalf. However, if the user that makes the call doesn't have permissions to create the service-linked role, it isn't created. For more information, see Using service-linked roles for Amazon ECS in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Parameters

-CapacityProvider <String[]>
The short name of one or more capacity providers to associate with the cluster. A capacity provider must be associated with a cluster before it can be included as part of the default capacity provider strategy of the cluster or used in a capacity provider strategy when calling the CreateService or RunTask actions.If specifying a capacity provider that uses an Auto Scaling group, the capacity provider must be created but not associated with another cluster. New Auto Scaling group capacity providers can be created with the CreateCapacityProvider API operation.To use a Fargate capacity provider, specify either the FARGATE or FARGATE_SPOT capacity providers. The Fargate capacity providers are available to all accounts and only need to be associated with a cluster to be used.The PutCapacityProvider API operation is used to update the list of available capacity providers for a cluster after the cluster is created.

-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the ClusterName parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^ClusterName' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Cluster'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.ECS.Model.CreateClusterResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.ECS.Model.CreateClusterResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ServiceConnectDefaults_Namespace <String>
The namespace name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Cloud Map namespace that's used when you create a service and don't specify a Service Connect configuration. The namespace name can include up to 1024 characters. The name is case-sensitive. The name can't include hyphens (-), tilde (~), greater than (>), less than (<), or slash (/).If you enter an existing namespace name or ARN, then that namespace will be used. Any namespace type is supported. The namespace must be in this account and this Amazon Web Services Region.If you enter a new name, a Cloud Map namespace will be created. Amazon ECS creates a Cloud Map namespace with the "API calls" method of instance discovery only. This instance discovery method is the "HTTP" namespace type in the Command Line Interface. Other types of instance discovery aren't used by Service Connect.If you update the cluster with an empty string "" for the namespace name, the cluster configuration for Service Connect is removed. Note that the namespace will remain in Cloud Map and must be deleted separately.For more information about Cloud Map, see Working with Services in the Cloud Map Developer Guide.

-Setting <ClusterSetting[]>

-Tag <Tag[]>
The metadata that you apply to the cluster to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both.The following basic restrictions apply to tags:
  • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50
  • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
  • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8
  • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8
  • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
  • Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.
  • Do not use aws:, AWS:, or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for Amazon Web Services use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.

If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
