Amazon ECS Adds Support for shm-size and tmpfs Parameters
You can now use the Docker shm-size and tmpfs parameters in Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) task definitions.
The shm-size parameter allows you to specify the shared memory that a container can use. It enables memory-intensive containers to run faster by giving more access to allocated memory.
The tmpfs parameter allows you to mount a temporary volume in memory. This removes the need to store data in your container instance and allows containers to run in a read-only mode, which can improve the security of your service.
For more information about using Docker parameters in task definitions, visit the Amazon ECS documentation.
