ECS Service Connect 504/Timeout

Question

Hello, after enabling ECS Service Connect we started noticing that requests  longer than 15s are cancelled and a 504 response is returned:

```
content-length: 24
content-type: text/plain
date: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 19:42:08 GMT
server: envoy
```

Seems that envoy is enforcing this 15s timeout.

Is this assumption correct?
If so, is there any way to configure the timeout?

Hi,

Previously, workloads running with ECS Service Connect for service-to-service communication had a non-configurable default timeout of 15 seconds. **Since Jan 22, 2024 Amazon ECS support for configurable timeout for services running with Service Connect**
