Volume
The data volume configuration for tasks launched using this task definition. Specifying a volume configuration in a task definition is optional. The volume configuration may contain multiple volumes but only one volume configured at launch is supported. Each volume defined in the volume configuration may only specify a name
and one of either configuredAtLaunch
, dockerVolumeConfiguration
, efsVolumeConfiguration
, fsxWindowsFileServerVolumeConfiguration
, or host
. If an empty volume configuration is specified, by default Amazon ECS uses a host volume. For more information, see Using data volumes in tasks.

Indicates whether the volume should be configured at launch time. This is used to create Amazon EBS volumes for standalone tasks or tasks created as part of a service. Each task definition revision may only have one volume configured at launch in the volume configuration.
This parameter is specified when you use Docker volumes.
This parameter is specified when you use an Amazon Elastic File System file system for task storage.
This parameter is specified when you use Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system for task storage.
This parameter is specified when you use bind mount host volumes. The contents of the host
parameter determine whether your bind mount host volume persists on the host container instance and where it's stored. If the host
parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon assigns a host path for your data volume. However, the data isn't guaranteed to persist after the containers that are associated with it stop running.
