AWS Fargate is a serverless technology for deploying and managing containers that works with both Amazon Elastic Container Service and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. AWS Fargate allows you to properly allocate computing resources, eliminating the need to choose instances and scale cluster capacity manually.
With Amazon Web Services, the team at Altoros builds a scalable and highly available infrastructure.
You can focus on building and operating your apps whether you are running AWS Fargate with ECS or EKS. You only interact with containers, avoiding the operational overhead of scaling, patching, securing, and managing servers. AWS Fargate ensures that the infrastructure your containers run on is always up-to-date with the required patches.
Individual ECS tasks or EKS pods run in their own dedicated kernel runtime environment and do not share CPU, memory, storage, or network resources with other tasks and pods. This ensures workload isolation and improved security for each task or pod.
AWS Fargate launches and scales computing resources to closely match the requirements you specify for the container. There is no overprovisioning and paying for additional servers. You can also get Spot and Compute Savings Plan pricing options with AWS Fargate just like with Amazon EC2 instances. Compared to On-Demand prices, Fargate Spot provides up to 70% discount for interrupt-tolerant applications, and Compute Savings Plan offers up to 50% discount on committed spend for persistent workloads.
AWS Fargate gives you out-of-box observability through built-in integrations with other vendor’s services, including Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights. AWS Fargate allows you to gather metrics and logs for monitoring your applications via an extensive selection of third-party tools with open interfaces.
