How do I associate an Elastic IP with a Fargate container?

Question

I\'m exploring using the new Fargate option for my ECS containers. One constraint is that the running task must always be accessible at the same Public IP address.

Answer 1

Fargate does not currently support ENI assignment, so it is not possible to have an Elastic IP associated with a Fargate task definition.

The only way you can use a static IP address with Fargate is via the Application Load Balancer with an alias.

Answer 2

Actually your can do it with Network Load balancer. It is a special type of load balancer, where elastic IP can be added. This instruction can really help https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/network/introduction.html
