If you set `external false` which is the default then I believe only an internal load balancer will be allocated so the service will not be exposed publicly We plan to move over to DNS service discovery for these not exposed services See <https github com pulumi pulumi cloud issues 441>

reading the code I see setting `cloud aws usePrivateNetwork true ` makes a difference but seems to still create a load balancer in the instance of fargate it is possible to set load balancer to none

< white balloon 205> if you look at your example `external` is not set but you can access the service via the exported `hostname`

as said setting `cloud aws usePrivateNetwork true ` seems to have a better result but I think its a good idea to be able to disable the load balancer and also probably some kind of control of the Service Discovery DNS

100 agreed on moving over to DNS service discovery very much want to do that soon It wasn t available when we initially built this which is the only reason we went with the internal load balancer approach in the first place

ha ok understood if you look at the options in the Console there are a few options for LB and DNS so it would be good if we could have a few more parameters and a little less magic cloud Service would rock even more <https www dropbox com s l9x4v5voqpvxc4n Screenshot 202018 10 17 2021 49 23 png dl=0>

< white balloon 205> I was going to fork this and submit a PR however after spending most of the day unpicking cloud Service I now have grey hair and conclude that its spaghetti and needs major improvement

specifically the calls into the `shared` lib for `getOrCreateNetwork` and `getCluster` and the references to external config makes it very difficult to inject into if you want to do something slightly custom
