AWS Elastic Beanstalk Docker Multicontainer Deployment Error, Can't Set Memory

Question

I'm transitioning one of my AWS Elastic Beanstalk applications over to Docker using Elastic Beanstalk's Multi-container Docker configuration. I've created a new EB Application with a new environment. When I attempt to deploy my Dockerrun.aws.json config, EB eventually fails with the following error in the events tab:

Service:AmazonECS, Code:ClientException, Message:Invalid setting for container 'api'. At least one of 'memory' or 'memoryReservation' must be specified., Class:com.amazonaws.services.ecs.model.ClientException 

My Dockerrun.aws.json config is roughly as follows:

{ "AWSEBDockerrunVersion": 2, "containerDefinitions": [ { "name": "api_proxy", "image": "{account_id}.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/{repo}:latest", "essential": true, "memory": 128, "portMappings": [ { "hostPort": 80, "containerPort": 80 } ], "links": [ "api" ] }, { "name": "api", "image": "{account_id}.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/{repo}:latest", "environment": { "DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE": "api.aws" }, "essential": true, "memory": 128 } ] } 

Any help would definitely be appreciated.

Update 2018-02-15:

My current deployment process is as follows. I first create the Docker images and upload them to Amazon's ECR. I then zip the Dockerrun.aws.json file. Since this is the first deployment of the app in a new AWS EB environment, I'm currently uploading the zip file in the environment creation process. The platform I'm choosing is Preconfigured platform: Multi-container Docker. For Application Code, I upload my zipfile containing the Dockerrun.aws.json file.

As far as I can see from off doc - environment option should be object array, so your json should looks like

{ "AWSEBDockerrunVersion": 2, "containerDefinitions": [{ "name": "api", "image": "nginx:latest", "essential": true, "memory": 128, "environment": [{ "name": "DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "value": "api.aws" }] },{ "name": "api_proxy", "image": "nginx:latest", "essential": true, "memory": 128, "links": ["api"], "portMappings": [{ "hostPort": 80, "containerPort": 80 }] }] } 

At least I was able to run environment with the json above
