not at my computer but usually with these kinds of problems, i export the entire resource at the end of my index.ts.

then pulumi preview and see if i can trace down how to fetch the specific thing im looking for

<@U042S31DSM6> Unfortunately, public nor private IP addresses are a part of AWS `DescribeServices` endpoint response, so it's not available as you're trying to get above. I'm assuming this is because ENIs given to fargate services are likely to change.

<@U025WUAUECC> No problem.  AWS isn't my wheelhouse.  Is there another API to get them?  Or can I assign a static IP?  Just need to connect service to consumer.  What's best practice?

The most common scenario is assigning the service to a load balancer and serving content from there. Who is the consumer in this case?

<@U025WUAUECC> it's an internal service for some other AWS EC2 instances.  It shouldn't have an external IP, by maybe it was assigned one because I specified a public subnet.

internal or not, using the IP address of the service/task is going to cause problems for you when the service/task inevitably changes IP addresses.

I'd suggest using a load balancer or ECS Service Discovery although load balancer is by far the simpler option.

Doesn't loadbalancer have a gateway to the internet?  It's a singleton service that shouldn't scale.

an internal load balancer won't. Also, with Fargate you cannot assign a static or Elastic IP

Ok, sounds like a start.  Thank you Phillip, have a great week!
