New Rack Param EcsContainerStopTimeout

What is the feature/update/fix?

Feature: New Rack Parameter for ECS Container Stop Timeout

We have introduced a new rack parameter, EcsContainerStopTimeout, that allows you to set a custom timeout duration for stopping ECS containers. This parameter controls the time before ECS issues a SIGKILL after sending a SIGTERM to the container, allowing more time for graceful shutdowns where needed.

By default, EcsContainerStopTimeout is set to a null value, which means it will defer to the ECS default 30-second stop timeout or any custom configurations already set at the ECS level. This approach ensures that no existing configurations or behaviors are affected unless you explicitly set a value.

This parameter can be particularly useful for applications that require extra time to shut down properly, such as those with ongoing user sessions or complex cleanup processes.

For more information, refer to the AWS StopTask Documentation.

How to use it?

To set the EcsContainerStopTimeout parameter, use the following command:

$ convox rack params set EcsContainerStopTimeout=<value> -r rackName

• The <value> can be specified in seconds (s) or minutes (m). For example, both 60s and 1m are valid inputs and will set the timeout to 60 seconds.

Does it have a breaking change?

There are no breaking changes introduced with this feature.
