Yep, sounds like ALBs would've helped. They were only launched in August 2016 so it sounds like they weren't available when you were doing your project. They just conceptually map better to containers and the documentation has been updated to recommend ALBs unless you need layer4 routing. Documentation is always a moving target, but the feedback links at the bottom of documents, in the console, and feedback to CS do make it through to service teams who act upon it. As for Freenode, AWS doesn't maintain an official presence there (same w/ AWS reddit). I understand you're probably looking for something more synchronous/interactive, but the AWS forums ( https://forums.aws.amazon.com https://forums.aws.amazon.com ) are the official place for getting public feedback from AWS.
