Using AWS Fargate as web server


Dynamic DNS for subdomain using AWS & Route53How To: Dockerized MongoDB Replication on Elastic Container ServiceIn terraform, howto attach a backing ec2 instance to an ecs serviceCan I create an AWS ECS cluster that uses a custom VPC?Use AWS private DNS from Azure through site-to-site VPNHow to get the IP Address for a specific AWS ECS task?AWS Elastic Beanstalk CPU CappedConnecting multiple aws regions/VPC-s with a DNS forwarderLimit public access to AWS ECS Fargate ServiceAWS Application Load Balancer 502 Bad Gateway

Using AWS Fargate, the process to get a custom Docker container running on AWS ECS is relatively straightforward.



I was able to successfully test my container over the public IP assigned to the network interface of the VPC that the Fargate cluster is hosted in; the container is a simple HTTP server listening on 0.0.0.0:80.



I have also recently purchased a DNS domain using AWS Route53.



Now, I want to assign the DNS to the ECS service so instead of sending the request to a random IP address (which also changes with each update of the ECS service) I want to be able to send my requests directly to the root of my domain.



How can I achieve that?

          Your website visitors are not supposed to talk directly to the Fargate container. As you realised the IPs are not predictable and can change at any time - it’d be difficult to keeps the DNS up to date.



          Instead use Application Load Balancer in front of Fargate and use the ALB’s address for your website.



          ALB will automatically register the Fargate containers as the come and go.



          Hope that helps :)
