Tell us about your request Currently the load balancing algorithm is hard-coded to round_robin whenever ECS Service Connect is used. It would help to expand this to allow least_outstanding_requests similarly to what the ALB can currently offer.

Which service(s) is this request for? ECS Service Connect

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? The end goal would be to distribute load more efficiently given that ECS Service Connect behaves as a service mesh for ECS.

Are you currently working around this issue? By over allocating resources to account for any containers close to 100% even if the load in the cluster is in average under the desired auto scaling limit.
