Hi@akhtar,

The following create-service example shows how to create a service that is behind a load balancer. You must have a load balancer configured in the same Region as your container instance. This example uses the --cli-input-json option and a JSON input file called ecs-simple-service-elb.json with the following content.

$ aws ecs create-service \
    --cluster MyCluster \
    --service-name ecs-simple-service-elb \
    --cli-input-json file://ecs-simple-service-elb.json
