The "most simple" way, which is not simple at all, is to create a VPN
that links all machines together, so that containers are addressable
from other containers. This would also require elastic IP management
from the machine or provisioning agents, so that these containers'
services could be exposed.

This sounds like a house of cards to me. Now these services are completely
hidden from machines that are in your security group but not part of
ensemble.

IMO, the benefits do not justify that level of complexity.

I'm hoping that I've missed something basic, and there's an easier way
to do it.
