**Exampe 1: To describe a single task tasks**
The following ``describe-tasks`` example retrieves the details of a task in a cluster. You can specify the task by using either the ID or full ARN of the task. This example uses the full ARN of the task. ::
aws ecs describe-tasks \
--cluster MyCluster \
--tasks arn:aws:ecs:us-east-1:123456789012:task/MyCluster/4d590253bb114126b7afa7b58EXAMPLE
