+1 for CloudFormation support on launch day. +1 for support for ECS services with dynamic ports (finally!) -1 for no CloudFormation support for ECS

(To configure an ECS service to use an ALB, you need to set a Target Group ARN in the ECS service, which is not exposed by CloudFormation)

Looks like you can set the Target Group ARN in the LoadBalancers property group now http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuid...

Thanks for sharing the info.

We're using CloudFormation and ECS heavily for Convox, and just can't get off a CloudFormation custom handler (Lambda func) for managing ECS task definitions and services for small reasons like this.
