I have set up an AWS Fargate cluster with ten WordPress containers behind an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB).
I tested that my settings work when I have one container. Why can I not log in when I have ten containers?
The issue turned out that the login flow is interrupted because the second HTTP request usually goes to a different container than the container that delivered the wp-login.php login form.
The solution is to turn on Sticky Sessions for the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) Target Group that serves the Fargate containers.
