*This service seems to now be under the [[AWS ECS]] product brand rather than standalone.* Fargate is a way of running containers in [[AWS]] without needing to worry about provisioning or managing the cluster on which the container will run. So you don't need to worry about [[AWS EC2|EC2]] instances or [[EC2 Autoscaling Groups]] or any of that. So it's kinda [[Serverless MOC|Serverless]]. You also only pay for as long as the container is running. Things you do need though include: - [[AWS VPC|VPC]] and associated resources (subnets, security groups, etc). Your container needs to be run inside a VPC - [[AWS ECR]] - where your container image is fetched from ## Integrations - [[Integrating Fargate with StepFunctions]] --- tags:
