I have corrected some mistakes in the post, i.e. 200$ was way too expensive :P

I have also created a budget version, around 25$ if you want to flex and host Minecraft on ECS.

To drive down operational costs even more replace the NLB with an elastic IP, associate it to the EC2 instance hosting the task.

Also, if you are ok with having 1 instance of the task at any given moment (no auto-scaling, blue/green deployments) replace the EFS with an EBS volume. EFS is a very expensive storage option.

Otherwise, nice article. Look forward to seeing more of your writings.
