Configuration specifics

Enabled JNLP protocols

As of version 3.40-1 this image only supports the JNLP4-connect protocol. Earlier, long-unsupported protocols have been removed. As a result, Jenkins versions prior to 2.32 are no longer supported.

Amazon ECS

Make sure your ECS container agent is updated before running. Older versions do not properly handle the entryPoint parameter. See the entryPoint definition for more information.
