The information below was written in Oct 2017. In August 2019 AWS launched official support for multiple target groups per AWS ECS service. Please use that feature instead!

Unfortunately as of writing this (Oct 18, 2017) there is no built in integration for multiple target groups per AWS ECS service. Here are a few things you can try:

1. If your application just serves port 80 (HTTP) & port 443 (HTTPS) then you should consider using the application load balancer and terminating SSL at the load balancer. This will allow your application to function using just port 80.

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

SSH Tunnel

Our db is hosted on Amazon. Our web server can connect to the db. Connections to the db are not allowed outside of the web server.

Run ssh tunnel locally:

This creates a tunnel from my local machine to the web server:

ssh -N -L 3307:my-rds-db.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306 ec2-my-web-server.compute-1.amazonaws.com
