What does aws_ecs_service.network_configuration.assign_public_ip do? For me the doc seems to be very vague and maybe even misleading.
The doc says that it somehow assigns public IP. And when I deploy it with false then it says it's 503.
Default is false but then what does it do? Is it meant for tasks that can't be reached from the internet?
I deployed with false and that container should then serve a webpage but it was 503-ing for 5 minutes. And when I redeployed using true then it came online. So does it mean that it exposes the container to the subnet or does it mean that the container actually gets a real public IP with all ports visible publicly?
This is the doc (I use Fargate instances):
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/ecs_service#assign_public_ip
Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
~ update in-place
Terraform will perform the following actions:
# aws_ecs_service.landing_service will be updated in-place
~ resource "aws_ecs_service" "my_service" {
id = "<removed>"
name = "my_service"
tags = {}
# (15 unchanged attributes hidden)
~ network_configuration {
~ assign_public_ip = false -> true
# (2 unchanged attributes hidden)
}
# (3 unchanged blocks hidden)
}
Plan: 0 to add, 1 to change, 0 to destroy.
