Would it be possible to pause an ECS service instead of deleting it

Question

I wish to stop it pause and ECS Service, so I can stop it from creating new instances

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible, by adjusting your service configuration to match your current number of running tasks. For example, if you currently have 3 running tasks in your service, you'd configure the service with minimum healthy percent as 100 and maximum percent as 100

Answer 2

You can accomplish a "pause" by adjusting your service configuration to match your current number of running tasks. For example, if you currently have 3 running tasks in your service, you'd configure the service as below:

This tells the service:

• The number of tasks I want is [current-count]
• I want you to maintain at least [current-count]
• I don't want more than [current-count

These combined effectively halt your service from making any changes.
