# AWS ECS

> Run AWS ECS tasks from Paradime Bolt schedules and the CLI so you can trigger container workloads alongside your dbt runs in a single orchestration DAG.

[AWS ECS](https://aws.amazon.com/ecs/) is a fully managed container orchestration service for running and scaling containerized applications. Trigger AWS ECS tasks as part of your Paradime Bolt schedules using the Paradime CLI.

## What you can do

* Run one or more ECS tasks from a Bolt schedule
* Choose the launch type (Fargate or EC2) and configure networking (subnets, security groups, public IP)
* List active ECS task definitions

## Prerequisites

* AWS credentials: `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_REGION`, and optionally `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` for temporary credentials

## Trigger from Bolt

Set your credentials as [environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables) on your Bolt schedule, then run the command as part of the schedule.

See the full command reference, flags, and examples in the [AWS ECS CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/aws-ecs-cli) documentation.
