How to gracefully shutdown Amazon ECS Fargate task?

Problem: Fargate tasks are being shut down without completing the processes within the task upon scaling in. (Auto Scaling implemented)

Is there a possibility for the Fargate task to exit gracefully (to complete all the processes within the task before shutting it down)?

There is a way in EC2 to handle this through Life cycle hooks but I'm not sure if there is anything similar in the Amazon Fargate cluster.

In 2022 AWS introduced the Task scale-in protection endpoint.

The following task scale-in protection endpoint path is available to containers: $ECS_AGENT_URI/task-protection/v1/state

Capture the SIGTERM signal and do your cleanup in there. You can trap it in your application, using whatever programming language that you want, or trap it in a shell entrypoint script.

For more information see this blogpost from AWS.
