You are deploying an application to Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate. The container needs environment variables passed in for the application to start. Where should you specify these environment variables?

In Amazon ECS, environment variables for containers are specified within the task definition. The task definition acts as a blueprint for your application, describing the containers, their resources, and their configurations, including environment variables. The environment parameter within the container definitions section of the task definition is the correct place to define these variables. Incorrect options: Specifying environment variables in the service definition is incorrect because the service definition primarily manages the lifecycle and scaling of tasks, not the individual container configurations. The entryPoint parameter in either the task or service definition is used to override the default entry point of a container image, not to pass environment variables.
