Note
The Envoy container definition must be marked as essential. We recommend allocating 512 CPU units and at least 64 MiB of memory to the Envoy container. On Fargate the lowest you will be able to set is 1024 MiB of memory. The virtual node name for the Amazon ECS service must be set to the value of the APPMESH_RESOURCE_ARN property. This property requires version 1.15.0 or later of the Envoy image. For more information, see . The value for the user setting must match the IgnoredUID value from the task definition proxy configuration. In this example, we use 1337. The health check shown here waits for the Envoy container to bootstrap properly before reporting to Amazon ECS that the Envoy container is healthy and ready for the application containers to start. By default, App Mesh uses the name of the resource you specified in APPMESH_RESOURCE_ARN when Envoy is referring to itself in metrics and traces. You can override this behavior by setting the APPMESH_RESOURCE_CLUSTER environment variable with your own name. This property requires version 1.15.0 or later of the Envoy image. For more information, see .
Important Fargate must use a port value greater than 1024.

Note The App Mesh controller is not available for Amazon EKS private clusters.
Note
If your Amazon EKS cluster family is IPv6, please set the cluster name when deploying the App Mesh controller by adding the following option to the previous command --set clusterName=$CLUSTER_NAME. Important
If your cluster is in the me-south-1, ap-east-1, ap-southeast-3, eu-south-1, or af-south-1 Regions, then you need to add the following option to the previous command:
Replace account-id and Region-code with one of the appropriate sets of values.
Note If you view the log for the running container, you may see a line that includes the following text, which can be safely ignored.
Important Once the controller has created an App Mesh resource, we recommend that you only make changes to or delete the App Mesh resource using the controller. If you make changes to or delete the resource using App Mesh, the controller won't change or recreate the changed or deleted App Mesh resource for ten hours, by default. You can configure this duration to be less. For more information, see on GitHub.
Important
The value for the app matchLabels selector in the spec must match the value that you specified when you created the virtual node in sub-step 3 of , or the sidecar containers won't be injected into the pod. In the previous example, the value for the label is my-app-1. If you deploy a virtual gateway, rather than a virtual node, then the Deployment manifest should include only the Envoy container. For more information about the image to use, see . For a sample manfest, see the on GitHub.
