How do I get the ECS task metadata endpoint (environment variable)?

[sirbully]

It says on the docs that:

Beginning with Fargate platform version 1.4.0, an environment variable named ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4 is injected into each container in a task.

These are the only environment variables available:

Am I misunderstanding something?

Hey @sirbully! ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4 is injected into your container, but the only ones listed in the view you're looking at are variables specified by you in the manifest. If you want to get the value of ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4 outside of your container, you could try using copilot svc exec, and then running echo $ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4!
