Mapping for depends_on and ContainerDependency

[dkovvuri]

Support transformation of depends_on in Docker Compose to ContainerDependency objects in the ECS task definition.

ECS has recently announced support for container dependency within a task. When using the ecs-cli to transform a docker-compose file to an ECS task definition the options depends_on are skipped with the error:

WARN[0000] Skipping unsupported YAML option for service... option name=depends_on service name=webserver

Steps to Replicate

I. Docker-Compose File

version: '2'
services:
    redis:
        image: 'redis:3.2.7'

    postgres:
        image: postgres:9.6
        environment:
            - POSTGRES_USER=airflow
            - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=airflow
            - POSTGRES_DB=airflow

    webserver:
        image: puckel/docker-airflow:1.10.3
        restart: always
        links:
            - postgres
            - redis
        depends_on:
            - postgres
            - redis
        ports:
            - "8080:8080"
        command: webserver

II. Run ecs-cli

ecs-cli compose --file compose.yml --project-name test run --region us-east-1

I like this idea; depends_on could be mapped to a container dependency with condition START.

+1, I would find this incredibly useful!

Where should i mention the depends_on option. In doker-compose.yml or ecs-parms.yml? Also please let me know the format as well. I want my web app should be started before my nginx server starts.

Is there any way to set of the dependsOn array of a task_definition.container_definitions using ecs-cli at this moment ?

[rohitg1594]

Any updates on this? I would really love to have this feature.

[ekanai]

When this issue will be supported?

[diablodale]

I think customers will have to do this without the ecs-cli team. They wrote yesterday, "We’ve shifted our resources over the past few months to developing [ecs-cli] v2..."
aws/containers-roadmap#513 (comment)

With that in mind, I suggest someone take on this code fix themselves. Fork the repo and submit a PR. We can share the PR in our private forks of this repo until/if ecs-cli team integrates the PR.

Closing, as this feature is now available in v1.21.0 !
