Describe Services

AI-generated

Summary

Describe one or more ECS services by specifying their names or ARNs within a given cluster to retrieve detailed information about them.

Inputs

  • Cluster Name or ID — Select the ECS cluster hosting the services to describe. Choose from the dynamically loaded list or specify an ID via expression. Required unless left empty, but must be provided to resolve service names in the UI.
  • Service Names or ARNs (required) — Provide a comma-separated list of up to 10 ECS service names or ARNs to describe, e.g., "my-service-1, my-service-2". This field is mandatory if a cluster is specified.

Output shape

a single JSON object containing detailed information about the requested ECS services wrapped as a single item in an array

The operation returns a single output item with a JSON property reflecting the AWS DescribeServices API response. The cluster parameter can be empty but if so, services cannot be specified via UI options. Up to 10 services can be described at once.

Examples

Example 1: Retrieve details of two ECS services in a specified cluster

Set the 'Cluster Name or ID' parameter to your cluster, and 'Service Names or ARNs' to the comma-separated names or ARNs of your two services.
