I'm crying tears of joy! I hope you and your family experience ten thousands suns and moons of happiness and prosperity!
This is the only resource in the whole internet that has been useful on this subject. Not only is this needed and useful, it's super clearly explained! Some people just deserve to have all the money they can eat for the rest of their lives for one good deed and this would be one of them. Why not? There's a lot of one hit wonders who have earned that.
I can't begin to tell you how helpful this video was and how excited I am to finally get a 200 OK status code from the health check of my ECS service! I was getting held up on the security group not allowing traffic from the load balancer.
Amazing video! I spent like two weeks trying to configure an ECS cluster with no success until I found this video, thanks for such great content and explanation
Best tutorial among all the videos on this topic!! Really helpful, thanks a lot for this video.👏
This was by far the best and most detailed tutorial ive seen of this
Thank you for taking hours to figure out things. You saved a lot of our time.

this is the BEST video I've ever seen about AWS ECS with Fargate
Thank you kind sir. Saved me a lot of headache. Quick note: at 15:44 you are correct in saying use the SAME subnets for the service as the ALB. I had the wrong ones and was getting timeout issues when connecting to the DNS of the ALB. Thanks again!
You won't even realize the amount of headache this has saved me. Liked and subbed. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for that great explaination even for the routing section. It's really helpful to configure target groups properly if you use Fargate the first time.

Thanks so much. This is great info. Tips like choosing a target type of IP instead of Instance for the load balancer are invaluable.
16:17 "... the load balancer stuff I spent hours trying to figure out". I have no words to express my gratitude. I will gladly join Patreon after watching it. On our platform migration from EC2 instances to ECS Fargate, I had countless bizarre problems. Your video covered the most tricky I faced (and are poorly documented by AWS). Only this exact step cost me 16 hours. Soon I will dig into your channel searching for a pure AWS EKS Fargate setup.

Thanks, It worked!!
This is one of the best tutorials on youtube. Thanks Sir! Though I still got some issues which was related to Health Check. Load balancer expects 200 status from the endpoint we specify in the Health Check path. My server did not have an endpoint with "/" so I was supposed to change that path to some other route so that the load balancer could be able to get 200 status in return.
Just what I was looking for, thank you

man i had a hard time finding out how to make ELB work with ECS , THANK YOU!! something to add to this video is that at moment 25:08 you could get the result back from fargate but since Docker container exposed port was 80801 not 80 to access it directly with IP or public DNS you had to include that port .

I lost 2 days on it, and just investing 22 minutes you answered all my questions. If you're new to this, remember also that your Fargate and task must be part of public subnets and not private one since public subnets can reach the internet.
