Amazon-ecs-agent: Support for Docker >= 1.13.0 on Windows

Created on 13 Mar 2017 · 11Comments · Source: aws/amazon-ecs-agent

Docker 1.13.0 on Windows dropped support for the 1.17 API version used by the ECS agent. Supporting Docker >= 1.13.0 on Windows means moving to an API >= 1.24. There are many differences between 1.17 and 1.24, and we'll need to maintain both codepaths in order to continue supporting Docker < 1.12.0 on Linux. Of particular concern are the changes involving the Config and HostConfig in Docker's CreateContainer and StartContainer APIs as well as the structure of information returned through Inspect calls. Because some of the Config and HostConfig content is generated by the ECS backend, we'll need to make changes there as well as in the agent in order to support Docker >= 1.13.0 on Windows.

Any update on this? The current version of docker on windows doesn't even support docker stats so autoscaling groups don't work.

Support for old APIs was removed in https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/27908.

How would that have helped?

@panmanphil This is currently being worked on in https://github.com/aws/amazon-ecs-agent/pull/783.

An update here: while we've been working on support for newer API versions, we've run into some issues with pulling the microsoft/windowsservercore:latest image with the newer API version. We're holding off on releasing a new agent for Windows until we've addressed these issues.

As mentioned in #942 the latest Windows Core With Containers AMI (image name: Windows_Server-2016-English-Core-ContainersLatest-2017.08.09, Ami Id: ami-4a16f432) is running a non-supported version of docker. Does this mean that we will need to stick with Windows_Server-2016-English-Core-Containers-2017.08.09 (Ami Id: ami-ad1afad5) going forward until the agent can support later versions of docker?

@JonCubed, we created the new Windows_Server-2016-English-Core-ContainersLatest-* AMI for customers who would like to have the latest released version of Docker. Since the AMI is built monthly (to pick up Windows patches), the idea here is that it will also pick up whatever version of Docker is released. The version is the same one you get from installing the Docker package:
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider

Windows_Server-2016-English-Core-Containers-* will continue to have the version of Docker that is compatible with ECS.
