I currently run an application with a CloudFront-fronted interface and a backend powered by Docker containers, utilizing Nginx as a reverse proxy for communication between the two components. I’m looking to migrate this setup to Amazon ECS and need assistance on how to configure access to my backend containers, either through Nginx or using another recommended method. Any insights or solutions for this ECS deployment would be greatly appreciated.
Have you thot about using AWS App Runner? It’s like a PaaS for containers, making deployment and scaling easier without babysitting resource infra. I’m curious, what’s ur primary concern - ease of use or control over infrastructure? this might help in refining your choices for migration. 
yo, transitioning to ECS is a neat move! try settin up an application load balancer. It works awesomely with ECS to route traffic to your backend containers directly. If you stick with nginx, you might still need a balancer for scalabltity, so consider that. good luck!
Transitioning from EC2 to ECS provides a great opportunity to utilize the native capabilities of AWS services. When moving to ECS, leveraging AWS Fargate can simplify your container orchestration by removing the need to manage servers. For networking and access, integrating with AWS Elastic Load Balancer can efficiently handle traffic distribution among containers. Alternatively, for high availability, consider using AWS Cloud Map for service discovery, which can dynamically route front-end requests based on the state of your backend services.
