Fargate
serverless container platform
Overview
No EC2 instance to manage (not like ECS). No nodes managed (not like EKS).
Auto scaling. To scale, just create new task.
Fargate + EFS = serverless
Run containerized applications (e.g., Docker images).
Very scalable but can require manual orchestration.
Concept
Cluster: logical grouping of services or standard tasks
Namespaces: logical grouping of container or task definition within a cluster.
Task definition: definition of a service or task
Pricing
Charges are based on the resources assigned to the container (RAM, CPU, etc.) and how long it runs for.
Trivia
Fargate tasks are given a minimum of 20 GiB of free ephemeral storage.
