How to get environment variables in ECS container?
11,473
Environment variables are defined inside the container and some are passed in the task definition. So you can use describe-task-definition to see the extra variables.
To get the default environment of the container image, you can register-task-definition for task with command 'env' and the specific container image for which you want to find out and then run-task this task.

What AWS CLI command should I be using to access the environment variables in an AWS ECS cluster's task's container?
I've seen
describe-cluster,list-tasks,describe-tasks,describe-container-instances, etc... I can't seem to find one that lets me look at environment variables.Is this doable via the AWS CLI?
