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)
