Change:
Added the
--region
option to theaws ecs describe-task-definition
command.Use Case:
I encountered a scenario where I, as an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user, have permissions to operate in different regions. I set my AWS CLI profile region using
aws configure set default.region first-region
. Consequently, any AWS CLI operations I perform are associated with this default region.Now, let's consider a situation where I need to update an ECS task service in a second region. The catch here is that both regions have a task definition with the same name. Consequently, the AWS CLI would typically default to using the task definition from the first region when updating.
To address this, I added the
--region
option to theaws ecs describe-task-definition
command. By doing this, I specify the desired region for the operation, ensuring that the correct task definition ARN is retrieved and used. This adjustment has resolved the issue, and I can now work with task definitions from different regions as needed.
