ECS: Waiter: Increase ServicesStable Waiter Time to "x" Time (30 or 60 minutes?)

[colinbjohnson]

Describe the feature

I would like to propose that AWS increase the "ServicesStable" waiter time (link as of 2024-11-18: https://github.com/boto/botocore/blob/develop/botocore/data/ecs/2014-11-13/waiters-2.json#L42-L72) to some amount of time greater than 10 minutes.

Use Case

We (and a number of AWS customers) that use the aws ecs wait services-stable command (or similar commands within SDKs) may have deployments that take > 10 minutes to become stable.

Proposed Solution

• Near Term Solution: change this to 30 or 60 minutes
• Long Term Solution: expose the waiter's delay and maxAttempts values to the SDK and/or AWS CLI (you can see this ticket here: Expose parameters for 'delay' and 'max-attempts' aws/aws-cli#1295 where there are three comments about this)

Other Information

Alternative Solutions

• writing our own waiter (you can see these online)
  • https://github.com/misterjoshua/ecs-deployment-wait
• wrapping the AWS waiter with code so the waiter itself is called repeatedly
• using a different method for determining if/when a deployment is complete (EventBridge?)
• not utilizing a waiter (and assuming the deployment succeeded)
• using a different method for deploying ECS Service updates
• something else?

Other Information

• This feels like something (near-term, changing the values for delay and maxAttempts) that would be relatively easy to do (I submitted a PR: ECS: Waiter: Increase ServicesStable Waiter Time to "x" Time (30 or 60 minutes?) #3305)
• There is some AWS documentation that would need to be updated, most notably:
  • https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ecs/wait/services-stable.html
  • https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/ecs/wait/services-stable.html

Acknowledgements

• I may be able to implement this feature request
• This feature might incur a breaking change

SDK version used

aws-cli/2.15.0 Python/3.11.6

Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)

Am closing this issue - I understand that the "waiter configuration" is owned by the service teams. I've opened this issue instead: [ECS] Waiter: Increase ServicesStable Waiter Time to "x" Time (30 or 60 minutes?)
