i'm not sure you can reference the hub with a short service name.. about terraform HOT 4 OPEN

Yeah we've seen that, the nodes don't register with the hub. Plan next is to make a hub app and spit out its IP, then make the node app and use that IP in the definition.

There's gotta be a better way though!

well, there are a few ways to do this, but the easiest one is probs this:

ahh, also there are some changes needed in the task definition. you'll need to link the containers together to allow comms.

  "containerDefinitions": [
    {
      "name": "wordpress",
      "links": [
        "mysql"                                      <==== this bit
      ],
      "image": "wordpress",
      ..........
    },
    {
      "name": "mysql",
      "image": "mysql",
      "essential": true
      ..........
    }
  ],
  "family": "hello_world"
}

Can't link in app definitions on fargate, I will read through container definitions when I have time (currently in the moving van with Drillah)
