AWS Fargate

What is AWS Fargate?

Fargate is an AWS service that lets you run containers on the AWS cloud without managing servers yourself. You bring the containers, AWS runs them.

Features:

• You don’t manage any EC2 instances – AWS manages your infrastructure.
• Auto-scales your containers based on demand.
• You pay based on how much you use (CPU and memory per second).

AWS Fargate in action

• You bring your Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml files.
• ECS task definitions (Fargate runs these).
• Configurations for:
  • CPU/RAM per container
  • Ports
  • Environment variables
  • Load balancer (optional)
