title: How to reach an ECS Service without a load balancer?
body: <p>I have a Docker container running on AWS ECS.  I don't want a load balancer because the container is meant to handle websocket connections.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/tutorials/deploy-docker-containers/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/tutorials/deploy-docker-containers/</a> shows reaching the container using a load balancer DNS name.  But since I didn't add a load balancer, I see no way to reach the container.</p>
  
  <p>How do I establish a websocket connection to a Docker container running on ECS without a load balancer?</p>
