# Fargate Task

This app module is used to create a short-lived task/job.

To create a long-running service, use Fargate Service.

After creating the application, add an `Event` capability to trigger the task from items in a queue, on a schedule, or directly.

## When to use

Fargate Task is a great choice for applications that require 2 things:

- Running jobs triggered on a schedule, from a queue, or manually

- You do not want to manage EC2 servers

## Security & Compliance

Security scanning is graciously provided by [Bridgecrew](https://bridgecrew.io/).

Bridgecrew is the leading fully hosted, cloud-native solution providing continuous Terraform security and compliance.

## Network Access

When a task is triggered by events or through the CLI, it is placed into private subnets on the connected network.

As a result, the Fargate Task can route to services on the private network.

Since it is a task, no ports are exposed privately or publicly.

It does not provide support for attaching load balancers, API Gateways, etc.

## Execution

This application module supports various capabilities to handle execution of a Fargate Task.

- Trigger: Enable events to execute Fargate Task (e.g. Cron Trigger, SQS Queue)

- CLI Execution: `nullstone exec` (See [`exec`](https://docs.nullstone.io/getting-started/cli/docs.html#exec) for more information)

## Logs

Logs are automatically emitted to AWS Cloudwatch Log Group: `/`.

To access through the Nullstone CLI, use `nullstone logs` CLI command. (See [`logs`](https://docs.nullstone.io/getting-started/cli/docs.html#logs) for more information)

## Secrets

Nullstone automatically injects secrets into your Fargate Task through environment variables.

(They are stored in AWS Secrets Manager and injected by AWS during launch.)
