What is AWS Fargate?

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS. It eliminates the need to provision and manage servers, allowing you to focus on building applications. Fargate automatically allocates the right amount of compute resources and scales them as needed. You only pay for the vCPU and memory resources your containerized applications use. Fargate provides built-in security isolation and integrates with AWS services like VPC, IAM, and CloudWatch. It supports both Linux and Windows containers and offers various CPU and memory configurations. Fargate handles infrastructure management including patching, scaling, and server maintenance, making it ideal for microservices, batch processing, and machine learning workloads.
