 cluster         = aws_ecs_cluster.foo.id
 task_definition = aws_ecs_task_definition.mongo.arn
 desired_count   = 3
 iam_role        = aws_iam_role.foo.arn
 depends_on      = [aws_iam_role_policy.foo]

 ordered_placement_strategy {
   type  = "binpack"
   field = "cpu"
 }

 load_balancer {
   target_group_arn = aws_lb_target_group.foo.arn
   container_name   = "mongo"
   container_port   = 8080
 }

 placement_constraints {
   type       = "memberOf"
   expression = "attribute:ecs.availability-zone in [us-west-2a, us-west-2b]"
 }
