AWS ECS find out hosted/parent Task or TaskDefinition of a container

I have AWS container running in ECS. Is there a way we can get the host Task or TaskDefinition info from container code? My container is dotnet core API. So, I am looking for a way to read the hosted/parent task/taskdefinition from my dotnet C# code.

Thank you.

Using the AWS CLI together with the ECS CLI (make sure you have both installed). You can list all tasks for your cluster like this:

aws ecs list-tasks --cluster your-cluster-name

It will return something like this:

{
    "taskArns": [
        "arn:aws:ecs:us-east-1:5xxx:task/1133xxxxxxc"
    ]
}

Then you can use the returned ARN to describe multiple tasks like this:

aws ecs describe-tasks --tasks arn:aws:ecs:us-east-1:5xxx:task/1133xxxxxxc --cluster your-cluster-name
