status
The status of the container instance. The valid values are REGISTERING
, REGISTRATION_FAILED
, ACTIVE
, INACTIVE
, DEREGISTERING
, or DRAINING
.
If your account has opted in to the awsvpcTrunking
account setting, then any newly registered container instance will transition to a REGISTERING
status while the trunk elastic network interface is provisioned for the instance. If the registration fails, the instance will transition to a REGISTRATION_FAILED
status. You can describe the container instance and see the reason for failure in the statusReason
parameter. Once the container instance is terminated, the instance transitions to a DEREGISTERING
status while the trunk elastic network interface is deprovisioned. The instance then transitions to an INACTIVE
status.
The ACTIVE
status indicates that the container instance can accept tasks. The DRAINING
indicates that new tasks aren't placed on the container instance and any service tasks running on the container instance are removed if possible. For more information, see Container instance draining in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
