How to get the public IP of an ECS Task?

[gkorland]

I'm starting an ECS task using RunTaskCommand with assignPublicIp: "ENABLED"
I do see in the the console that the task has a public IP and can even connect it.

But I can't find a way to get the public IP after the task starts, tried different ways and APIs including:

waitUntilTasksRunning & DescribeTasksCommand

But it always just returns the private IP and not the public IP.

According to this docs binding should be part of the result

aws-sdk-js-v3/clients/client-ecs/src/commands/DescribeTasksCommand.ts

Line 105 in 0ce9353

* // bindIP: "STRING_VALUE",
