Description
Having no limit on memory usage can lead to issues where one container can easily make the whole system unstable and as a result unusable.
How to fix?
Set the memory attribute in the task definition or container_definitions.
Example Configuration
resource "aws_ecs_task_definition" "valid_memory_limit_ec2" {
family = "valid_memory_limit_ec2"
container_definitions = <<EOF
[
{
"name": "valid_memory_limit_ec2",
"image": "hello-world",
"memoryReservation": 128,
"memory": 256
}
]
EOF
memory = 256
requires_compatibilities = ["EC2"]
}
