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.

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.

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.

You won't even realize the amount of headache this has saved me. Liked and subbed. Thank you very much.

[PaulPetersVids]

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!
