I have a cluster running two services, a web app, and a message queue handler. The app has autoscaling configured, but the queue handler does not. There's also a couple of scheduled tasks that run as well.
If I run a task manually using the cli (aws ecs run-task), the task works properly at first, then then after about 5 minutes loses the ability to make outbound connections.
From looking at the scaling logs, it doesn't look like autoscaling would be causing this issue.
