[AWS Batch] Ability to specify a working directory for a container in ECS TaskContainerProperties

[brian-mulier-p]

Describe the feature

Ability to specify for a container the working directory to use

Use Case

I have a usecase where I need to bootstrap multiple containers where one will eventually fetch from S3 to some job-wide volume and the main container will need to have access to these files.

However both containers are not necessarily using the same image so I'm unable to know where to mount files if I can't specify an arbitrary working directory.

Proposed Solution

Hi @brian-mulier-p This is a feature request to the service, I'll raise it internally to the AWS Batch team.

Moving this to the cross-SDK repo aws/aws-sdk for tracking.

@brian-mulier-p the Batch team replied and said it's a feature they are interested in implementing. They've added a feature task to their backlog but don't have a timeline to share for the fix.

Closing this, as there's nothing pending on the SDK team.

@debora-ito Thank you, I was unaware it was a not a SDK limitation. Is there a link, an issue, something to track this ?

[debora-ito]

Unfortunately no, there's no mechanisms to track Batch service-side feature requests that are open to the public. I recommend keeping an eye on the changelog but it's not super practical.
