<p>I have a scenario -
I have configured my frontend application in one autoscaling group and my backend application is in another autoscaling group. I'm using the load balancer also. But I don't want API call from front end to the backend over the internet.
How Can I make front end application in autoscaling group to communicate privately with backend application which also in another autoscaling group?</p>

Aws autoscaling group in private subnet, private communication?
