        string
         | 
      
        
        AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used.
        
       
        If profile is set this parameter is ignored.

        Only used for boto3 based modules.
        
       
        Note: The CA Bundle is read 'module' side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.
         |

        dictionary
         |

         | 
     |
| aws_secret_key
        
        string
         |

        Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.
         | 
     
| ec2_url
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required.

Notes
Note
- For details of the parameters and returns see http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/ecs.html#ECS.Client.describe_task_definition
 - This module was called 
ecs_taskdefinition_factsbefore Ansible 2.9. The usage did not change. - If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence 
AWS_URLorEC2_URL,AWS_PROFILEorAWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDorAWS_ACCESS_KEYorEC2_ACCESS_KEY,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYorAWS_SECRET_KEYorEC2_SECRET_KEY,AWS_SECURITY_TOKENorEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN,AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGION,AWS_CA_BUNDLE - Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
 AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGIONcan be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
