**Tell us about your request**
Recently we migrated from AWS Appmesh to ECS Service Connect. We noticed that we can not call our services from lambda anymore. It was working properly under Appmesh.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECS, fargate
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
We want to call services from lambda. So let say we have a service configured with service connect like serviceA.local. We want to be able to connect to this service and send requests.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Because the CloudMap that the service connect builds is API-only and not DNS Query, we need to use AWS SDK ServiceDiscovery to get the IP of the service and then connect to it using IP.
